This morning, we finished packing up and moving out of our flats before heading to the British Library. We stopped first at Kings Cross Station to take our pictures on Platform 9 3/4 (from the Harry Potter books/movies - it's where he catches the Hogwarts Express.) The British Library has an extraordinary collection of texts - from a Gutenberg Bible to Beatles lyrics handwritten on the back of one of Julian's 1st birthday cards.
We then took the Eurostar through the Chunnel to Paris. The ride was amazingly smooth and seemed like we got here in no time, it really took about 2 hours, but it went fast. (The short nap probably helped.)
Finding our way to our hotel was an adventure, even with guides trying to help us. But we eventually made our way to our teeny, tiny rooms. The rest of the evening went much smoother as we made our way up the Eiffel Tower. Paris really is a beautiful city. We got to watch the sunset over the city (after 10 pm!) I loved how the Eiffel Tower looks all lit up and on every hour it actually twinkles for about 5 minutes. Ooh la la!
