Welcome to France!

Hello, and we are now writing from Paris, France. Last night, we went to the Eiffel Tower, where we had dinner. Sadly, we did not have dinner at the restaurant at the Eiffel Tower, but we made our own from some food we snagged on the way to the tower.
 It was raining at the tower, which was convenient because the lines were short, but inconvenient because it was cold and wet and windy at the top. Even through the rain the tower was still beautiful.  
Now onto today. We stated with a trip to Notre Dame, where we went on a Rick Steve's audio tour using iPods and iPhones. Notre Dame was a lot of fun and was very interesting.
 
After walking around Paris fora little while longer we went to the Blanche metro stop, where we went on a guided tour through the Montmartre/Sacre Coure area of Paris.  
After that we had dinner at a small restaurant where they delayed our check for 10 extra minutes, before coming back to our little apartment where I am now. See you guys all later!

Here's Fritz at the top of the Eiffel Tower:
