High Speed it to Paris day 89-90






























We leave Brugge on the High Speed train and voila we're there in a few hours.

What a city!! For a large City, its a very visually beautiful. We are staying in the area of MontMartre,
very quaint and old Paris close to the Moulin Rouge and the Sacre Coure. I have a little sense of San|Fransisco  in different areas, and the senses are alive. Alive with beauty, smells, flowers. and in certain areas pollution."Big City" Big subways" Crazy busy and full subways, but we enjoy our 2 days here.

Starting with Sacre Couer, a beautiful church all lit by candle very beautiful. We stop on the way on a 1800's Merry go Round that transported you back in time with music. My inner child loved this ride, it was quite moving. We ate and saw the sights, and now Spring in Europe is getting Hot, so we all feel the heat in Paris.

Both Addi and Natalia say they like Paris very much, and both are very excited to see and climb the Eiffel Tower, but before we get there , its a stop at the Champs Elysee and witness the Glam and fashion of Paris, noticing a hamburger and fries on a menu passing by in a outdoor cafe for a mere $30.00cdn. Glad most of us our vegeterians , and Addi who isn't said that's too much.

It was a great experience seeing Paris but by the time we leave we're happy to be on the relaxing train back to Brugge and the quiet and noise if you want it, way more laid back, but great memories of Paris. Were all glad we went...........................
