FINAL PART (8) Europe Pics

I'm now gasping. This is the finallll stretch.

IT'S SO CURVY I'M GONNA DIE

YOYOYO, 'Sup. Just hangin on the 387 tightly winding stairs to the tip top of the tower of Notre Dame.

BEAM. That's right, grace.

This was Jeremiah's very favorite thing. Understandably. He didn't want to leave, but we did this VERY last, so maybe it'll stick in the ole mind a bit better.

Grumpy Elephant Gargoyle.

Hellhound eating a dude's head.

IT RINGS IF YOU HIT IT HARD WITH A HAND!

tall. really tall. Big bell. Nice bell.

BUDS. We and the Bell. Well, we're tight. Like two crossed fingers.

Totally looks like...

The view from the top. Yes, that's the Eiffel Tower in the distance.

NEAT cross and other tower.

We made it down, and I photobombed her. That was the absolute maximum lenght of time she could stand up for the rest of the day. Sitting or staggering the rest of the way.

I could've gone for hours.

Mmm. maybe him too. Only cause it was his favorite, though.

Nope. Carried her.

FINAL PIC. The flying buttresses from above.

THE END. Hope you enjoyed seeing it as well as we enjoyed doing it. Or at least as comparitively much as could be hoped for.

PART 7 EUROPE PICS

*Le Phew Le Phew Le Phew* I'm now channeling Pippi Le PU

Ole Dame of the Notre. Notre Dame.

Laaadies.

MIRROR SORTA with cool part of Notre Dame. Dramatic peeps, we are.

Incredible imagination and symnetry.

The sisters. NOTE THE FLYING BUTTRESSES.

Statues climbing up the outside of the tower. They don't have vertigo.

Me. AND DOME. It looks like a huge cyclops is staring at me.

NOTRE DAME THROUGH GOTHIC POINTYFENCE.

Inside. Sisterly love.

The choir and the expanse of Notre Dame, which echoes. Oh, and there are other people touring too.

Mater and filius. And whatever latin is for notre dame window.

COURTYARD of the Louvre.

The Mona Lisa. I would've put the one of me with it instead, but it was my bad side. So no go.

Venus de Milo. I did NOT get a picture next to her.

A SPHINX. And the sororii. Cause they love noseless stoned hybrids.

SWOON. Who said indeed?

BIG OLE RAMESES. We likey. We're your fans, dear huge green man with a strange goatee. Not really, but I had to say it.

The ORIGINAL Code of Hammarabi. No joke. We were THAT CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Puttin' on the Ritz and Climbin' up the Stairs (of Notre Dame's Tower).

PART 6 EUROPE PICS

*PANT PANT PANT*

ONE UP ON YA GRACE. ONE HAND.

A-Climbing we shall go. Up the stairs of the Eiffel Tower.

Juuuussst as we got started on the stairs from a 10ft line, this happened.

Just lily. Looking resplendent against the backdrop of Paris from Monsieur Eiffel.

We enjoyed this much.

And we saw the national futbol watching tailgate area where they were showing the France vs. Spain Quarterfinal in the Euro Cup.

Nope. The stairs only went to the second level. THAT WAS QUITE SHAMAZING ANYWAY.

The view.

The Eastern side. With the sun behind and the shadow.

We liked it.

We owned it. Veni Vidi Vici.

RAIN COLD. But the three musketeers and Louis the 14th in front of Chateau de Versailles.

PART of the extensive gardens of  the Chateau.

How does family live safety filter block OUR pictures posted by ME from OUR computer on MY OWN blog? Thus, I can't tell which this one is to caption appropriately.

Famed hall of mirrors. Had Chandeliers too. Quite crowded, but somewhat intriguing. How many years of bad luck would I get if I broke 13 of those mirrors?

Some recently made enormous high heels inside of the chateau. What.

Lily in front of ONE of the mirrors.

LILY AND GARDENS.

DUDE MADE OF STONE. (Charles Martel)

Don't know what exactly is going on here. No idea.
