Our Ratings: Overall: It's a nice place to visit, but it's full of dog crap and the people are mean. Activities: The city of lights and love doesn’t disappoint. Challenge: The only real challenge is trying to find a french person who admits to being able to speak English, even though most of them do! Food: Crepes, crepes and more crepes. Seriously, you could subsist on them…they are beautiful pieces of food engineering. Lodging: There are tons of cute, neighborhood hotels…with thin walls…and it’s the city of love. You get the picture. Fun: Museums, shopping, sightseeing. Lovely.

Welcome to BOB AND AMY's EUROPEEIN' Vacation

Our first stop in Adventure #14 was O'Hare International Airport, Richard M. Daley, Mayor, where we encountered Michelle and Karl Simmons (Hi Michelle!!! I bet you didn't think you'd make the FIRST PICTURE, did you???) and THEY were going to Paris, TOO! What a coincidence. Here we are in a group photo (sans Bob...he's the photographer). By the way, it was MY BIRTHDAY. Did you send a card?

After eating coal for lunch, Amy got a tatoo to truly express her excitement of heading to Paris.

That's not Pinkeye, that's 8 hours in Coach.

On the RER (pronounced R*spit* Urrrrrrrr R*spit*) we encountered some authentic French-smelling people.
