After one week in Tel Aviv, we flew on a Sunday to Paris. On Monday morning, I woke before dawn for some reason and decided to walk out of our apartment in the 6th arrondissement to Pont Neuf and then Pont des Arts. I lucked out with a vibrant dawn and then turned to find a subtle rainbow over the Eiffel Tower! We ended up walking 13 miles that day starting at the Eiffel Tower then Place du Trocadero (both under construction/renovation), on to Arc de Triomphe and up the tight spiraling staircase then down Champs Elyses. That night we ate in the Latin Quarter and I took the metro back to the Arc de Triomphe for some sunset shots and lucked out with a great sunstar.
 
On Tuesday, we explored the gardens of the Louvre and enjoyed the carnival there. Then to Galeries Lafayette but skipped the glaswalk. Ate at a brasserie and slowly made our way back to the apartment. That night I headed to Montparnasse tower for incredible views of the Eiffel Tower from the 56th floor and then grabbed a crepe on my way back at 11:30pm (almost missed the train!).
