Thanksgiving Week in Paris


Snapshots of Paris
Haikus Capture Reflections
Read on for Pictures

ARRIVING

Wet cobblestone streets
Paris by night, Seine River
Bright shimmering lights


DAY TWO


Like a giant giraffe
The Eiffel Tower stands out
I walked and had crepes

Around the corner
A cafe, a brasserie
Wicker chairs, outside



Tears came to my eyes
Seeing Notre Dame by day
Construction gives hope


Bastille and the Arch
Monuments to remember
Pantheon as well


DAY THREE

Croissants for breakfast
Like biting into Heaven
Butter and Texture

Fountainebleau Chateau
History lived within these walls
Napoleon, too




The Louvre. A must see
So many stolen treasures
Attracts the whole world



Mona Lisa smiles
While crowds of people gather
Stolen--then priceless


Sacre Coeur at night
A fortress of purity
Looks out at Paris

LASTING MEMORIES

Wining and Dining
Every mouthful is perfect
The French do it right!


A traveler's feet
So much to see--go, go, go
Endless cobblestone
