Drove from Wiesbaden to Paris (a distance of approximately 545 kilometers or 338 miles). It drizzled all the way there (and during most of the 5 days we were in the Paris area).

Our visit to the
Eiffel Tower was the one day that the sun broke through the clouds! The Paris bus tour was worth it. Thankful for the photographic skills of hubby.
