Honeymoon:Day 1-Paris

Paris. Paris!!! Finally we are here. I already found some gorgeous looking sweets WITHIN the airport. Hmmm! Need to watch out for those. I cannot wait to go to cafe.

We took trains to Kendall's place which is 2 blocks from the Eiffel tower!! She was picking up her daughter, Nolween at her school so we were happily waiting at a cafe having our first French meal, fish soup and Grand cream (Cafe au lait) . Yummy!! It came with crouton, cheese and aioli sauce. We were not sure what to do with this aioli sauce so I put some in the soup....Uhhhh...I shouldn't have. The soup was creamy and almost like bisque. I could taste all the good shellfish, fish flavor. Mmmm, fruit de Mer!!!

Kendall and Nolween came home. They are a sweet family and I was hoping to go out together but Kendall needed to go back to US tomorrow so we were alone at her place. After we played with Nolwhen for a while, Steven and I went out for first excursion in Paris!!


The Arch de Triumph. We climbed up to the top from inside. There is a small Napoleon museum on the top and the views from there are awsome.

Champs-Elysees looking down from the arch. My dad wanted to walk with me here but I cannot do it anymore so here I am, with my love of my life. Rain got harder and we were soaked but Paris was still beautiful.... smoked salmon crepe for dinner at a restaurant off Champs-Elysees St. and walked back to Kendall's place. The Eiffel tower was very pretty with lights.

Leaving for Honeymoon to France

Steven and I were longing to go to France together and finally our honeymoon has started! We took off from SFO to Chicago where we transferred to Paris. We were talking about Chicago hotdogs so much but didn't have time to get any at Chicago Airport. :( Tried to sleep on the plane hoping my new orange suitcase is coming with us safely.
