Let me take you on a night ride

 One of the things we were really excited to do in Paris was to take a night bike tour of the city. Armed with bikes, reflective vests (construction-worker style), and a good bit of courage, we set off into the night. I don't have too many pictures as we were busy riding, but we had a great time cruising down the streets and seeing all the monuments lit up. The last part of the trip we switched the bikes for a boat and took a cruise down the Seine and past the Eiffel Tower. My favorite part of the whole trip was riding our bikes like maniacs through the deserted courtyards of the Louvre Museum. Jason loved that our tour guide kept telling us to dominate the cars and use our "palm of power" (outstretched hand) to let them know that we were taking the right of way. And most of the time, it worked!
