June 19, 2006 - July 11, 2006: Trip to Europe
I was very much delighted today because my son and his wife took us to Paris by car. This was for the first time for us to visit Paris.
After some two and a half hours, we arrived at the center of Paris, Tour Eiffel.
I couldn't believe that I was walking around the tower.
We first took lunch nearby viewing the tower.
French bread and fried potato,and beer, of course.
My son and his wife left somewhere and we got on a sightseeing bus on the upper deck.
Those buildings had once been only in my dream.
