It may be touristy and it may ne a cliché but when in a new city we just love to take the hop on hop off bus, It's a great way to orient yourself to the sights and the layout of the city. After seeing all of the buildings, statues, memorials and obelisks I now understand why they call Buenos Aires the Paris of South America. Funny how Paris is never the "fill in the blank" city of Europe. We got on the Big Red Bus right by the apartment and within 5 minutes we were on top of the bus and in motion. Great timing on our part.
Controversial in its time but pretty cool
Gold and green
Please keep your heads and arms in the bus at all times
The Seine, Frances second largest river
To spend the time and money on architectural highlight such as this is a true reflection of how much the French appreciate beauty
I would love to understand all the symbolism here
Notre Dame under re-construction
We miss our little dog Pickles, who looks just like this.
Sprawling structure
Yes, I miss-read this too
We will rebuild it
So much scaffolding
This sums it up, extravagant exuberance
