What did we do this New Year’s? Bonne Annee!

We had a rare opportunity this New Year to ring in the new year while gazing upon the Eiffel Tower.   Paris started out as just a stop-over on the way to Kazakhstan, but we ended up extended it to be a whole week.  These are a few of our favorite memories…

paris_0004Montmarte “Little Paris” – this was exactly what we came for, and we just stumbled upon it!  We came to look at the church, but as we followed this street behind it, it kept getting better and better.
