Sacre Coeur Blowout!

Hey all,

Sorry it has been a while since the last post, lot happening here both technically and personally. The internets continue to be a problem but today I got a Ethernet splitter so Jess and I can both be online. One step closer to fame, baby. That solved, I should be able to make posts more often.

On the personal side, we had friends decend on us. Our friends Tony and Dustin had been traveling in Prague and Amsterdam and our friends Kate and Adam were recently married and were wrapping up their honeymoon with a couple of days in Paris.

We started out with some touring at the Louvre and St. Chapelle Chapel, the chapel is amazing with the best stained glass in Paris. Each 20 foot panel has a story from one of the books of the bible depicted on it.

After touring we decided to head to the neighborhood of Mont Martre, the famous neighborhood of Picasso and other fantastic artists. We intended to have a relatively quiet dinner and drinks. Didn't happen. We got to the Sacre Coeur, at the top of Mont Martre, and found a huge party already going on! It was part of a celebration called Nuit Blanch or White Night. It is a celebration for the people to stay up all night and see art exhibits and enjoy Paris at night.

The party had tons of food and best of all, 5 euro bottles of wine uncorked for you to drink outside during the party. So with wine in hand, we toured the party nibbling on all types of foods and looking at artwork. Later that night, there was a great fireworks show that helped put the finishing touch on a great night.

We headed home a little too late and missed our last metro so we had to walk home but it was a great time!
