Hello! I'm Ashleigh, and I'll be your tour guide...

I feel like I need to start off with these... Natalie and I made a goal to take a very specific picture with the Eiffel Tower. Here goes nothin'.

Well this way doesn't quite work.


So let's try it this way.



Um, ouch. That sign was sharp.


Finally, SUCCESS!




NOW, here's the start of my trip... The back of Notre Dame.





Couple of cuties heading in to Notre Dame.






Just posing.





Gothic architecture inside.






The famous stained glass window!






It was sooooo hot! 92 degrees or so. That means Berthillon, which by the way, is some of the most famous ice cream in Europe. No big.





The backside once again.






Parisian sunset!





Saturday morning, waiting to leave the hotel. And if Friday was hot, then of course the next day would have to be torrential rainstorms in the morning.






Umbrellas! Oh yeah, and the Louvre. Check out the pyramid.






One of my two favorite statues in the world. Say hello, Nike (aka Winged Victory). It's nice to see you again.






Here's my absolute favorite. Psyche and Cupid. I don't know if you knew, but this is what love looks like.






Absolutely beautiful.






It was so crowded that I couldn't get a great picture, but me and Aphrodite are best friends. Oh hey, Venus de Milo.





Another of my favorites. It's me, Jill and Natalie.







A painting of Cupid and Psyche. Most romantic couple in history.





Ryan and I got photobombed.






The famous pyramid from a window on the second story.







Off to Champs Elysee! The Arc de Triomphe.





Girlies.





THE Louis Vuitton store! The line was sooooo long to get in that we decided to skip it.







A boat tour on the Seine.







Self-explanatory.





A view from the top of the Eiffel Tower.






Me!






Me and Max!







A view from one of the beautiful bridges.






A common theme! Keep this little park in mind... It's where we watched the Eiffel Tower light up.






At night!






I'm holding it up, in case you didn't get it.





Ahhh, Paris.






Our little park on the bridge.




I described it as sparkles. Natalie said it was a thousand Tinkerbells. Jill said it was the vampire of all buildings. (Team Edward!!!!!!!!)






The steps of Montmartre.






Cabaret de la Boheme!





Beauties in the streets of Montmartre.


At the MOULIN ROUGE!!!!

Crepes at Chat Noir.

Au revoir, Paris!
