Out and About

Pat, Judi and I went to the Arabic Institute after we left the group.  These windows are made up of individual camera lenses to adjust the light coming into the building.

Pat took this photo of Judi and I as we were looking across the city.  We were on the rooftop of the Arabic Institute.  They have a restaurant with a terrace that overlooks the city.  It has a nice view of the Seine River. 

 I love this photo of Judi and Pat!  You can tell it was quite windy up there by looking at Pat's hair.

It seems that almost anywhere in our neighborhood, we were able to tak wonderful photos of Notre Dame.  I really like this view of it.

River views......

Here's lookin' at you, kid.................

Isn't this fantastic!  What a great advertisement.......for what?.............I don't know.....but I love it!  As the boat goes by the eyes look as though they follow you. 

See..............there she goes "lookin' at you"!  LOL

Sights along the Seine

Our closest view of the Eiffel Tower yet.  Judi, Jan, Barb and I took a trip to the tower later in the week.

Another one of the carousels........evidently an attraction close to any of the major sights.  I'm sure lots of locals go there just to give their children a day out and a ride on the double-decker amusement.

This is a broader view of the cityscape along the Seine.

Love the tops of these rotundas and those little teapot -like knobs on top.  ")

Crusin' down the Seine....

 Wed. evening Pat, Jan, Judi, Barb and I took the cruise down the Seine River.  What a marvelous opportunity for taking some great pics of many of the sights around Paris.








There are many great styles of architecture in the buildings standing on both sides of this river.  This same style is seen on the Ile de la Cite.

Bridges, bridges, bridges.............I couldn't believe all the various styles of bridges that cross this river in the city proper......crossing over to Ile de la Cite and Ile Sainte Louis, of course.
