Trails 2 Travel

Oh boy, here we go. Easily the longest and most extreme day of site-seeing I've done in a while. We went ALL over Paris. Day 2 Itinerary: Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Sainte Chapelle and Conciergerie, Notre Dame, Palais Garnier, and Montmartre. Starting at a wonderful 6:30 in the morning we hit up a bakery on our way to the Tour Eiffel Park. We started out this early with one goal in mind: Paris photoshoot. We came armed with my Canon Rebel t6 and a 70 in. max height tripod. From various discussions with Paris photographers, I discerned the one thing in common (besides how expensive they are) and that is to shoot early in the morning. The lighting is pretty (albeit difficult to work with) and the crowds are almost non-existent.

 I've been trying to devise the best way to present my France material. Do I try to slim down my stories or do I basically word vomit information to you. Unfortunately for you (or maybe fortunately if you actually read these things) I'm going with the latter. If you prefer to wait till the end, I'll probably create some sort of itinerary post with just the basics. but WHAT FUN WOULD THAT BE. So Day 1 Itenerary: Musee de L'Armee, Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées Our flight got us in around 11 in the morning and after little to no sleep on the plane, we were ready to hit the ground running. I'd previously google maps'd how to get from the airport to our hotel to leave our luggage and it looked REALLY easy. I'm talking 2 train lines. 1 transfer. less than 5 minutes of walking. Boom. Want to know what really happened? We got there and B-lined for the train. Bought out tickets to Paris city center using the ticket kiosk. Cool. Get on the RER C as expecte...
