Shortly after getting settled into life in Holland, I realized a good friend from Houston was working in The Hague (also in Holland). She really wanted to see Paris, so we took the Thalys high speed train to Paris for a weekend. And, a good friend of mine (lives in San Fran) has an apartment in Paris (next to Notre Dame) and happened to be there for the weekend as well. Woo hoo!

1 Thalys Train Here's the high speed train that got us to Paris in 3 hours, from The Netherlands.
2 Group Shot! My friend Sharon (from Houston working in The Netherlands), myself, my friend Bary (from San Francisco) with his mom and wife.
3 The Louvre Being a typical tourist.
4 Church I can't remember the church, but I was still being a tourist...
5 Aux Vieux Paris Restaurant GREAT little restaurant tucked away near the Notre Dame Cathedral. You actually crawl down into the cellar to pick your wine.
6 Notre Dame My friend's apartment is in the building to the left. It's on the third floor, about the 4th balcony. Sharon is actually standing on the balcony, waving...
7 On the Balcony And there's Sharon on the balcony!
