haahaa just kidding. this is the actual french countryside.

allison and i shared an awesome room with a balcony overlooking the street.

lou, if you're reading, we took this for you. :)

1000 feet of splendid goodness. very touristy, but we got a good view from here. sadly, jay got a bloody nose. a note to everyone, drink lots of water.

this is us, being our natural selves on top of the eiffel tower. allison is smiling, i'm sleeping, jay is taking pictures. in the interest of saving 4 euros each ($6) we opted to climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator. 654 steps and we definitely felt the burn.
