We have finally arrived in Paris after 21 hours in the air! The flights were smooth sailing, although very long. A quick stop over in Doha was certainly an eye opener, the landscapes from the air was unlike anything I have seen, the buildings seem to grow from the arid desert that surrounded the city, an incredible cite indeed. Paris is beautiful as expected. We are staying at the home of a friend, and what a warm and welcoming home it is! After a homemade banquet of traditional Parisian food, we jumped in the car for a trip around the city by nightfall. If there is anything more breathtaking than Paris during the day, its Paris at night! The city lights and buildings are stunning, and we managed to stay alive during the drive around the Arch de Triomphe and its 12 roads which lead off the roundabout! Today we walked for hours to see the Arch, have lunch over looking the Eiffel Tower, and Kimmie even managed to squeeze in time for more than 100 decent photos. Withdrawing money from the bank seemed to be the problem of the day, however after some arm waving, attempts at some broken french and a little patience, we got it all sorted. Another yummy homemade french meal has set us for what should be another great night sleep
