Bonjour!

We had a great time in Paris although I saw my life flash before my eyes a few times. The drivers there are CRAZY! Everyone there knows where the lanes start & stop except...you guessed it, US! The buildings there are breath taking and the Eiffel Tower was all that I imagined. The line was very long for us all to go up to the first floor. I couldn't miss the opportunity, so I walked up all 280 something steps (I lost count). I had a great picture of the girls sitting in front of some flowers with the tower in the background but the flash went out so you are going to have to use your imagination and look at the pics from my car. Another chapter in The Brown's European Vacation. Chevy Chase has nothing on us!

This is called the Porta Nigra. This is what remains from the fortress that surrounded the city of Trier.

Trier, Germany

Since Kelly has come home, we are on the move. We are trying to see as much as we can. This is Trier (tree-air), the oldest city in Germany. And it is said to be the place where the first Christians were persecuted. We were not able to go into the churches because they were having service but they are just amazing to look at.
