Paris 2013

A belated anniversary gift to ourselves, we spent an incredible 10 days in the "City of Light".

Our thanks go to Elisabeth from Rick Steves' Tours for the fine job she did in guiding us through this great city.

Gary - the photos are wonderful. It was a treat to read the captions, too. I was very happy to see I wasn't the only one fascinated with the balconies. The red, white, blue and green is a lovely burst of color and charm combined. Thank you for sharing!
