Day 12 : Paris, France
Did you know that the Eiffel tower has blinky lights? It appears that they fire them up every hour on the hour. There's a search light on the top and the girders have lights just like you'd see on a Christmas tree. |

Day 11 : Lucerne, Switzerland
Our group spent the night in jail. Lucerne is a tiny little place. There isn't much to say about it. We looked all over for fondue and only found it at one place. The currency here goes a little farther than the Euro so many of the group ended up b... |
