Paris in a Nutshell

Ugh...it's almost 1 am our time in Germany. Just got back from Paris about 9:30 pm, and I'm exhausted. Violet and I crammed in a lot for only being in the City of Lights for less than two days. After having a late night dinner of meats, cheeses, hefeweizen and Schnopps, I'm ready to hit the sack. But here's some quickie highlights/musings that happened on our Parisian adventure:

--Went up to the tippie top of the Eiffel Tower at night time. Nearly freezed our butts off.
--Explored Montmartre late at night and felt like taking a shower afterwards.
--Violet tried to catch a pigeon in the park and help it untangle from some wine. No luck.
--Went into sticker shock a few times after seeing the prices of our food orders. Still can't fathom how a can of Coke can cost 4 Euro (about 6 U.S. dollars).
--Saw the Salvador Dali Museum. That man is whacked out.
--Walked. And walked. And walked.
--Stumbled upon Paris' makeout point outside of the Sacre Couer. I guess Jesus IS all about love.
--Doesn't anybody in Paris wear anything besides black?
--Spent 30 minutes just trying to find a trash can in the city to throw away some banana peels.
--Word of advice: Don't try the Turkish toilets in Paris.
