Back!
We're home! (And the jet lag is even starting to wear off - that 7-hour time difference is a killer!)
The trip was wonderful - I'll try and post a mini-travelogue over the next week or so, including pictures of course.
We started by flying to Paris, to visit our friends Damien and Sarah. They have a wonderful little apartment in a quiet, gated street in the 17th arrondissement. (Housing prices in Paris are even more insane than in Chicago, though!!) We spent two evenings with them, spending the days sightseeing around Paris. It's still a lovely, lovely city - the only skyscrapers have all been built in one outlying secton, so most of the city is still the old building (or newer ones built to blend in). A great first two days of the trip!
The church of St. Germaine.
View of the Eiffel Tower looking from the hill near Sacre Coeur, in Montmartre (neigborhood of Paris).
One small section of a lovely park near Damien and Sarah's place.
