Day 3 - April 13, 2010

For our first full day in Paris, we started with a baguette and croissant at our neighborhood boulangerie and enjoyed our first French breakfast on the canal wall, with our legs dangling over the water.





And then it was off to la Tour Eiffel! The cold wind was whipping through as we waited in line to walk up (we decided we would rather conquer the tower, rather than just visit), and I think our noses were effectively numb by the time we reached the top. Good thing we found wall heaters to warm up against!

We stopped in for a cup of tea and then Cory found a lovely garden on the first level to sit together. Before long, Cory was down on one knee and Molly was lovestruck (by both her dashing fiancee and the beautiful Tiffany ring he put on her finger!). The rest of the day was a happy blur :)




Ooh, plus we had a great dinner on Rue Montargeuil, at a little place that served globally-influenced Wok creations, right out of classic Chinese food boxes. A perfect engagement dinner!

What we learned today: Engagement opens up a whole host of new nickname possibilities: Husband in Training, Wife in Training, Fiance, Forever Bear, Forever Bunny, etc. The entire continent may be left vomiting like an Icelandic volcano long after we're gone!
