Paris, 20 ans

For our pre-anniversary, we went to Paris for two nights.  Our hotel was clean and comfortable enough, but in a bit scary neighborhood.  The 19th arrondissement is not the Champs Elysees, instead of Chanel and Dior, we had the Turkish consulate.  However, Paris is still Paris and we LOVED every minute of it.
 We actually started off with Reims and its cathedral, dating back to the XIII century.  Its architecture is quite breathtaking.  It's about 1h1/2 from Paris itself.  Reed actually served there on his mission for 3 months in 1991.

 The gargoyles are just awesome! And they serve their purpose, look, the rain can thus fall directly on your head!
It took over 250 years to build. I believe it!









This one is in front of his apartment back in the mission days, not as breathtaking, I admit!
Now off to Paris...

Such beautiful architecture. You don't see much of that in AZ. :)
Brig and I want to do Europe for our 20th anniversary. We haven't narrowed it down much more than that though. :)
We've still got a while.
Happy Anniversary to you sweet little lovebirds!
