Chapter 1 > France

Paris became the European city that I was most comfortable in after my second visit there in May of '98 at the beginning of a 2 1/2 week trip that I took with my former college roommate. We stopped in Nice at the end of our trip to relax.

The Eiffel Tower is really beautiful at night.

Here's a view of Notre Dame from the back (or the front depending on how you look at it).

Here's a view from the one of the towers on the other side of Notre Dame (another 400 step climb).

I really dug the Gargoyles.
