Wowsers! Long but great day! Chandler tried to start our day 3:45am when she was wide awake. Thankfully we all went back to sleep but not before Mitch watched a bit of football via slingbox. ;)
After a few more hours of sleep, we checked out and left our luggage at the hotel to walk to McDonald's for breakfast. A new experience was ordering via a touchscreen kiosk....niiiice.
Then we walked a few more blocks to the train station and headed into the center of Paris to site-see for a day. Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triompe, Champs-Elysees, and somewhere Mitch & I didn't get to visit last year, The Louvre. What an amazing place! We didn't have near enough time to see everything but we did see the "Mona Lisa" - totally surreal experience!
We were exhausted when we walked back to the hotel this evening to meet our friends. We're staying in a beautiful home, in the northwest area of Paris with a family with 2 beautiful boys - who, though we can't understand them, are a kick in the pants. :)
Tomorrow, we'll start the day off with the first of the 3 weekend services. Praying the kids' body clocks have done some shifting and we can get around early in the morning without much of a hitch.
The Lord is faithful and so near! Lord, encounter Paris with Your extravagant love for them!
