Fun Photos from Paris, France - June 2016


 Day 1 at our house

 My first (and probably last) falafel. Taste was OK, but too messy.

 Wonderful gelato!

 Can't resist cat pictures. This cat lived in a pet store near Notre Dame.


 Boat ride on the Seine





 The waters were still high from the floods earlier in the month.

 We barely cleared the bridges - the water level was so high.


 One of the bridges where people leave locks. Mary left one for a friend.
 Gave a presentation about how God Used Ninja Warrior in my life to Catalyst.
 Hi Brigitte!
 Raclette and Fondue place - they couldn't believe we wanted it in June, but we said it was our only chance :-)









 Brigitte creates a "super-straw."
 Tired feet!

 Do you think Jim was a little worn out? We had to actually wake him up at our stop!


 A holy éclair!
