boating on the seine, 04/06/2010
As I've mentioned before, the weather in Paris during our visit left a great deal to be desired (not that it stopped us). Towards the end of our visit, the weather improved greatly, and one evening, we enjoyed a boat cruise up and down the Seine River, which runs right through the heart of the city.

The Orsay Museum; the Louvre


Notre Dame from the front, the side...


...and the back. If you don't love flying buttresses, there's something deeply wrong with you.
The Palais Bourbon--not actually a liquor store, but the seat of the National Assembly


 More tour boats, like ours. Each seats literally 1000 passengers
