Our next stop was to head to the Louvre and tour the museum. How overwhelming it was to see all of those artifacts that are centuries old!! It was very surreal to see things from Napoleon's era and paintings such as the Mona Lisa!! The Louvre was so huge and we walked through most of it!! My legs got a WORK OUT!! Which was great since we were in a plane for so long AND due to the amount of French pastries and bread we are consuming. Holy! Moly!! The French know how to make some pastries!! I'm taking pics of all the goodness. So far... 2 crossiants, 1 strawberry tart (ah-mazing), and 1 strawberry and chocolate crepe!! They are slap your momma good!!!
After the Lourve... We headed over to the Effiel tower! Our hope was to be able to tour the tour and go up to the top but the line was at least 3 hours long! As I'm writing this... We would have still been in line if we would have done it!! Although it was unfortunate we couldn't go up it we took that time to do many photo ops and also take a boat ride on the Seine river to view Paris at dusk from the river perspective! It was very relaxing and was a great impromptu activity for us!! Last... We ended the night right with a crepe from a road side stand!! Yummmmmmmo!! I may have to be rolled out of Paris!! Good thing they walk everywhere!!;)
As we close our first night and fun day to bond as a team and just explore. We also recognize how much this city and country needs to hear the gospel! Please join us in praying for us tonight and tomorrow as we prepare for this weeks VBS, the youth get set for camp, Pastor Paul prepares to speak at camp and our day to visit Normandy.
We are so thankful for God's provision so far in safety and health. God is good... All the time! And we look forward to a week of sharing all that he is doing in our lives!!!
Love y'all!
Bonne nuit!! (good night)
