Here are some pix of my day in Paris. It was absolutely incredible. I will go back.

Paris Train Station


Arc Du Triumph (spell?)


Palais Du Concorde (spell?)



The Opera House


The Eiffel Tower




The Louvre





Can you guess why I took a picture of this??


My very favorite.



Good times....good times.

those outdoor and architecture photos are really amazing. good stuff!

Great pics Mr. Miguel.

I remember my camera running out of battery power just as I was about to take a shot standing dead center at the base of the Eiffel Tower looking straight up.

The Louvre was one of the places I regret not having seen when I was there.
Guess that means i'll just have to go back.

Wow, those are some beautiful pics the Miguel. I need to check Paris out one day. Thanks for sharing!

We're flying to Paris in 16 days!!! It's one heck of a long trip from here in Hawaii...You're pictures just make us more excited 2 leave! Thanks 4 the great pics. Aloha~

I think it's totally awesome you did that, Miguel!
We, spoiled europeans, are always like: 'Crazy americans, travel all the way to Paris for just one day.....'
I'm glad you did it, looks like you caught a good day for it as well! Next up is Amsterdam

Thanks. It was unfortunate that some pix were taken from either a bus or a boat. They both had dirty windows. Some of my other pictures are spotty....Calgon take me away.

It's funny you should say that because I was having problems with my camera. People were saying that it was because it was too cold. (England had it's coldest climate on the week I was there.) I decided to buy a disposable camera just in case that day. My camera worked well on that day. Two days before I had gone to Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath and my camera was freaking out. When I got to the Roman Bathouse in Bath my camera wouldn't work. It was really beautiful too. I ended up just buying the souvenier book.

Yes, you definately have to check it out. It was a super quick trip but what I saw was beautiful.

Have a wonderful time!!! Definately do the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. I fell in love with the Louvre. I was literally touched almost to tears but I held back. The paintings were incredible but the Greek/Roman sculptures were incredible.

I wish you all were there with me.....we would've been banned from the Eiffel Tower for dangling orgers off of the edge. Hahaa!!

We spent a day at the Louvre a couple years ago. I loved the sculptures more than the paintings also. The Venus de Milo is breathtaking. What am I saying, the whole place is breathtaking. I'm glad you went even if only for one day. Isn't the Eurostar a wonderful train?

The Eurostar made it soooo very easy. I plan to take that all over Europe one day.

Looks like you had a great time, next time I will join you

soooo jealous! adding paris to my list of places i have to visit one day! looks like you saw so many beautiful things!

One day?
Man, you HAVE to go back.....you missed Pere Lachaise (Jim Morrison is buried there and many, many famous composers and authors), the Latin Quarter, Montmartre and the flea markets, Sacre Coeur, Musee D'Orsay....the list goes on ad infinitum.
And that doesn't count just hanging around Pigalle one day just to absorb the culture.

Palais Du Concorde [/b](spell?)




You shot from the "Place de la Concorde".
But you shot the Hôtel Crillon (on the left) and the "Place de la Madeleine"

I'm happy you came here at least !!!

are you home home??

looks fantastic... hope you had a wonderful time

Wow. Neato.

Can I go with you when you go back?

and on the right is the ministère de la marine (naval ministry)

I love Paris - been there twice now and I never get tired of it; even of going to the same places. I want to go back alone one time (I will do during my gap year) so that I can meet some of you parisien orgers and enjoy paris for myself.
