On Friday morning, Becky, George, and I left our residence at 5:45 and took off for the bus pick-up point. Front there, we took a 2-hour ride to Dover, where we caught our ferry.
The ferry was HUGE. It had a full cafeteria, 2 cafes, a bar, an arcade, 2 stores (tax free), and more.
The most exciting part about the ferry, though, was that everyone loaded their cars/vans/busses right on the boat and took it over to France. There had to be at least 60 cars loaded (maybe a lot more), not to mention about 5 busses, several big rigs, campers, etc. On a boat!
The ride was about 1 hour 20 min (not long at all), and then we docked in Calais, France, got back on the bus, and began our 3-hour journey to Paris.
Our first stop in Paris was for a boat tour on the Seine ("sen") River.
The Eiffel Tower!
I'm not sure what I expected it to be like... but whatever that was, it was different in real life.
(Becky and George)This is all I have time for right now. I'll try to add some more pictures after I get home from my internship.

I suppose you don't really have the time, but I wish you would write more. The photographs are great, but I like reading what you thought about things. Oh. And that stop off you made at the Moulin Rouge? I bet you burned through several rolls of film on the facade alone on that little hot spot alone. Well. Assuming you're using an analog camera. Which you aren't. What can I say ... I just can't shake my 20th century mindset.
your call to me from under the tower was something I'll remember the rest of my life....you're the BEST!
