Down time in Paris

I spent this past weekend in Paris, comping after our annual middle school camp. Going to Paris in the off season was awesome... there were hardly any lines!... but it was a lot colder than I thought it would be. Thankfully, we planned to spend an entire day in the Louvre and one day checking out a few cathedrals. We trained to Paris, and it was great. We took the fast train - just over 2 hours and we were in the middle of Paris, just a few blocks from our apartment. 

^Our first evening in Paris we saw a beautiful sunset along the Seine River
