Paris: Some photos of Erik & Heather, the City, and Versailles

A few photos, a few stories.

Versailles, near Marie Antoinette's mansion. This swan was totally unafraid of humans.

The farm hamlet built to entertain Marie-Antoinette; still functions as a real farm.

Panoramic of Paris to the Southwest from Arc du Triomphe. Note Eiffel Tower and Heather.

 My favorite: Paris, WNW, with financial district in distance, Heather, and storm clouds.

Erik, sweaty on Eiffel Tower

Erik on our lovely boat cruise-dinner on the Seine, too hungry to pose


Heather on the boat cruise, night has fallen, approaching the Eiffel Tower

Grainy but well-composed shot of the Eiffel Tower on approach. The thing is actually quite stunning.


And Heather below.


The couple in the foreground got engaged before our very eyes. They had a very suspicious nice table, chairs, champagne, and flutes. Girl starts crying and then runs over and hugs him. After this shot we see the ring go on. Very cool.
