Well...Last Saturday morning (Europe time) we set out to travel around Europe for a few days before returning home to the States. We rented a Volkswagon "minibus" to take us around Europe. We visited a castle in Germany called "The Eltz Castle." Believe it or not, there is still a family that lives there.Next, we traveled to Paris, France to see lots of beautiful sights, and boy did we. Here are pictures of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. As soon as we found a hotel in Paris, we traveled on the subway system for 1.50 Euros each, very cheap. The subway took us right outside of these places. We saw the Eiffel Tower Saturday night, then on Sunday morning we visited Notre Dame. They were holding a church service while we were 
there, so that was interesting.
there, so that was interesting. We also drove around The Arc of Triumph. This is a big turn-about with about five lanes traveling around it with no lines! It was absolutely crazy! Underneath The Arc is a memorial for the unknown soldiers of France. There were interesting sites of the Lueve, golden bridges, huge buildings, and lots more.
Then, we traveled to Normandy Sunday afternoon where WWII took place. 
What an interesting area along the Utah and Omaha Beaches. You can still see the area where the bombs hit along the beach. There are still remains of where the arsenal was kept along with tunnels underground for the men fighting. Jacob loved seeing that area as he is a big history buff.

Lastly, Sunday night we traveled through Brussels to the Netherlands where we were flying out of Amsterdam, Netherlands on Monday.
We had a great trip and hope we can return again someday. We hope you enjoy our pictures.
