Paris: Day One

Arriving in Paris late morning to early afternoon left us little time to see as much as anyone would like to see once one arrives in Paris.  We made it to our hotel, dropped our bags and headed for the Arch de Triumph and Avenue des Champs-Élysées.  I must say that one of my favorite things about being in Paris and London was walking up the stairs from the Metro/Tube and getting a completely new view to take in and enjoy.  However coming up the stairs off the metro the first time in Paris was truly special.  The view behind me was the first bit of Paris that I was able to see, recognize and get butterflies over seeing it with my own eyes!  
Our first stop was what else a pastry shop!!  Adam and I enjoyed a pastry and continued our walk to the Arch and shopping on the Avenue.  We ended our first day enjoying dinner on the patio of a cafe.  The church that Adam is standing in front of was our view for dinner.  I enjoyed my roasted chicken and Adam had the classic French sandwich with ham, cheese and an egg on top!!
What an amazing first day :)
