I pierced it, without my mom knowing...

Must have been another birthday celebration at an Italian restaurant, our family tradition

Paris--January 2005

Sorry, I forgot my stop over in Paris back in January 2005, on our way to D.C. So, let me take you on a little tour of Paris...in winter. My grand-parents took me on the bateau mouche, which is a great way to see most of the monuments. Most of the sightseeing pics are taken from the bateau mouche. Enjoy...
