Plastic tourist in Paris!

Here is the Champs Elysee right near the metro stop for the Arc du Triomphe, even at 9:00 a.m. it's starting to fill up with tourists--and of course dogs.

Check out the seething mass of humanity underneath the Eiffel Tower! EWWW. We just took a picture from the bus and on foot while walking away from it.





Got to love this ugly baby head fountain in the gardens near the Eiffel Tower, there were two of them spitting at each other and a big Golden Retriever in the middle enjoying the water.













And here I am at the Arc du Triomphe, Napoleon's masterpiece that was built in what was pretty much an empty field at the time. It was never finished--it was supposed to have one of those huge horse and hero statues the French do so well, but no one could agree on what it should be. It wasn't finished until quite some time after Napoleon died either.
