We returned safely from our vacation to Paris and we are engaged! Everyday on this trip was special, around every corner was something wonderful. Our hotel was very romantic – we stayed on the second floor of Hotel Prince, in the Rue Cler neighborhood, right next to the Eiffel Tower. We spent our evenings wandering streets bathed in the gold hue reflecting from the Eiffel Tower. It snowed the first day, and it was cold! On the second day Sunny and I took a walk from Les Invalides over Pont Alexander III to the Champs Elysees. That evening I proposed and Sunny said yes, yes, yes! Over the next few days we toured the Louvre, D’Orsay, Rodin, and the Orangerie museums. The Louvre was overwhelming, but fun. We were so tired in the Orsay that we kept our tour limited to Degas’ ballerinas and impressionism.

The food was great. For dinner Sunny often ate French Onion soup and I had the typical French dinner, steak and fries. We ate well. We walked from sight to sight, eating picnic lunches consisting of stinky cheese and herby breads along the way.
