Day 1 Completed!

The idea of making it to Paris with the family seemed quite far fetched.  We landed in Charles de Gaul in the early afternoon after a continuous 15 hours straight of travel. There was a mixture of excitement, adrenaline and exhaustion.  The cab ride was uneventful with exception of the graffiti that lined the freeways.  We passed several Syrian refugees begging for money that really was impact full. 
Our hotel the Grand Leveque was located on a cute street called The Rue Cler.  A quick shower and we were off to walk the streets.  

Headed to dinner with a view of the Eiffel Tower.  How many times in life can you say that?

We had a mixture of French cuisine.  Patty and I had French Onion soup with a fromage plate, Fischer a Nutella crepe, Madeline a quiche lorraine and Nolan a burger with pom frites (french fries).
A short walk to the Eiffel tower after dinner and we were treated to a night time view that was spectacular. 
On the way how we picked up some dessert from a local bakery.  Passion Fruit cake, a fruit tart and cobbler.  Delicious!!!
Sleep came easy as everyone was was done with a marathon Day 1.
