France
 
Paris, Dijon and the Burgundy wine region
 
Our first trip to "the Continent" of Europe was our autumn trip to visit France and Spain.  We used the Eurostar high speed train to get to Paris then we also used the trains to get to and from Spain.  We visited Paris both at the beginning and the end of the trip.  During our first three days there we were lucky enough to be able to meet with some friends from Texas, Irma and Andy, who were on a layover as they traveled back to America.  After Paris and then our days in Spain we returned and took a rental car to the Burgundy region.  The primary reason was so Susan could visit a crystal glass factory in La Rochere to buy some crystal glasses, which is a great story we will have to tell you sometime. Here are the best photos of the amazing stuff we saw with our best attempt at narration.
 
Paris....the city of Love
 

 

 

 

 

 

We begin with what else?...The Eiffel Tower.  It was of course the first thing we went to see on our first night in Paris after having dinner with our friends Irma and Andy.  You can see Susan and her good friend Irma here enjoying the tower that evening.
