Seeing the Eiffel Tower is always an amazing experience but if you ever get the chance to see it at night take advantage because it’s incredible. Built in 1889 for the International Exhibition of Paris it still is awed by almost 6.9 million people a year.

Riding through the mountains on the way to Paris reminds me of when I lived in Leadville. We didn't have much but we had the mountains, I miss the simplicity of that being enough to keep us happy

It's amazing to me how many things the Vatican actually holds, so many different treasures but the art that's part of the building itself is immaculate

It gives you chills when you wake through places as incredible as this and you look at all the tiny details that someone had to do by hand. Every stone placed by hand and after looking at the floor it's not a job I would have wanted to have. Amazing. I wish places were built with such passion still, instead we have skyscrapers, which sure are impressive but not in the same way. I sat there in silence for at least 15 minutes just taking it all in. Fun fact; the church opened on November 30th 1893 and can seat around 3,000 people

Today we are going to be touring around Marseille checking our different cathedrals and museums. So far it’s absolutely beautiful, right on the ocean. Our apartment is absolutely amazing, couldn’t have asked for a better living situation here.
