Our first real blog from Paris

All the testing at home, my first test here, and now I have found that I cannot upload my photos!!!! Technology is not working for me!!! Why can't I bore you with 10 million shots of the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and all the other amazing sites we have seen in the last 2 days! The apartment in the Marais district is amazing, incredible position looking out over a very typical Parisian street. We are right in the Jewish district, fond memories of Balaclava on a Friday night! First night in Paris, falafel for dinner, how French is that! Our Dubai experience was amazing, from the massive airport to the incredible architecture, 40 degree heat and a very interesting tour around the new buildings through to the old city. Our journey to Paris was on an A380 plane, massive aircraft, lots of leg room, individual TV Screen with a camera placed on different parts of the plane so that you could view landing and takeoff! Our first tour yesterday, Paris highlights in a vintage Citroen, we were picked up from our apartment by the lovely Matthew, a business and marketing student. He was dressed in the obligatory striped t-shirt and had incredible control of the his little car, until we ventured into the roundabout of the Arc de Triomphe where we were hit by another car! Not quite Princess Di accident in Paris, we lived to tell the tale but we did have a long walk home along the Champs Eylsees! Will hopefully work out how to upload some photos so that we can share our wonderful experience!
