PARIS - EIFFEL TOWER

Sunday, May 13th

Our tour bus stopped at the Eiffel Tower for about 15 minutes,

well maybe 20 minutes :0)

I was amazed at the "control" of the officers -- no parking meant no parking & they meant it! Beggars were run off quickly & there was no tolerance. WOW. They meant business.

On a much lighter note, it was HERE that I realized

I LOVE THE COFFEE & CREPES W/ NUTELLA!!!

Liz (duh), Padre Avram, & Margie, my new bestest friend & the BEST roommate possible for my time away from my family!

We RAN off the bus to get COFFEE and to grab something to eat -- those that know me, know I NEED coffee, plus we'd just flown all night from SF to Paris & jumped onto the bus for the tour. We found a little stand and got some of the best coffee along with crepes with Nutella... YUMMY!!!

Margie shared that amazingly enough, she had been in Paris 12 years to the day, having crepes w/ Nutella with her son & his new wife for their honeymoon! What are the odds that 12 years later exactly she would be there AGAIN eating crepes w/ Nutella? God has such a sense of humor!!! (I like to call those little coincidences "God-incidences" that make us giggle when we get a little glimpse of the tapestry God is weaving bringing people and events into our lives in "funny" ways)
