Another fun day in Paris and today we decided to head to the Eiffel Tower. It took us three hours to walk here- of course we had a few coffee stops on the way- as well as a little shopping break at Bon Marche- where I finally got the long length gloves I've been searching out for months

We began today with a visit to Denny's- a must for breakfast (or any time of day) and discovered it was a public holiday which explained the lack of rush-hour traffic. One American Slam later we were ready to hit the road and head to San Diego.

Just one more day til I fly away- really looking forward to visiting LA and then Paris but sad I'll be missing two weeks of trapeze and hula! Loved trapeze last night, such good fun to do a small routine and learnt a new trick- front balance- incredibly painful though!

Wow- my last geometric piece took me 13 months to finish- this one was completed in just 6 days! It would have been quicker but I decided to add some extra pieces- and then to remove them all adding about a days worth of beading!
