We still don't have data service for our cell phones, and we mapped our way to the store on the apartment wifi before we left, but then we realized that we didn't know how to get back! We had to find a McDonalds so we could use their wifi and map our way back. 
Once we got back to the apartment we got ready and headed out to catch the bus. The buses in Paris were packed and there were so many energized crowds because of the Euro Cup games being played today. There was an abundance of soccer fans sporting their favorite team's jerseys and you could see seas of green everywhere with so many fans rooting for the Irish team.
We headed to the Eifel Tower first. It was bigger than we had expected.
A funny thing is that there was a giant soccer ball hanging underneath it. They are really serious about their soccer here!
Next, we found the bridge that has all of the locks hanging on it. Bethany was very excited because it was in one of her favorite movies- "Now you see me". We bought a lock and she wrote our names on it and then locked it to the bridge and threw the key into the Seinne.
Apparently it wasn't the original bridge fence which had to be dismantled due to the weight of all the locks, but that didn't lessen Bethany's excitement.
Next we went to explore the flower market on the little island in the middle of the Seinne.
We were tired and hungry, but had a hard time figuring out where we wanted to stop to eat and we ended up eating our Paris lunch at a Thai restaurant which is ironic because we eat thai food all the time at home, and I expected to be eating only French food in France. We did however, get a crepe for dessert in the subway station 😜
The last stop on our list for today was the Moulin Rouge. The red-light district was interesting and, not surprisingly, a bit sketchy, but it was cool to finally see the Moulin Rouge.
