Good Morning.
I forgot to add one thing to the last post with the bright orange hot dog. When our waiter gave us the change after our meal, he leaned in and grabbed the coins and said, "this tip for me? it is good to tip. thank you, have a nice day". I didn't say anything because it was less than I would have tipped him, but it was really weird. He literally just set the money down and then took the change before I even had a chance to grab the bills. Also, I have noticed that they have asked us what we want to eat while they hand us the menu. It makes no sense. I haven't even seen the menu!
Yesterday was a fun day. We really got back on track with the picture taking. We walked down the Champs d'Elysees to the Arc de Triumph. Then we took the metro to the Eiffel Tower. It was fun to see during the day, but it was a circus there. Good people watching... Anyway, we took a bunch of pictures and then walked to the Hotel de Invalids, which is just another site to take pictures of. It has a gold dome.
That night we went back to the Eiffel Tower to see the lights. It was pretty cool. We went up on the tower and had a great view of the city. Also, while we were up there they did the light display where the Eiffel Tower sparkles for a few minutes. I think that happens every night at 10, but I am not sure. Regardless, it was really cool and we took a video of it.
Anyway, that brings us to today. We have checked out of our hostel and are going to see the Chateau de Versailles. It's a very opulent castle, so it should be fun to see. Then we board the train for Venice!
