I really love Amsterdam - the canals, the cheese, the trams,the conveniently English speaking people. And everyone rides a bike so it's peaceful and clean.
Paris by contrast is quite gritty, although the sun was out for our visit so it was lovely. We all went to the top of the Eiffel Tower...I'm sure you are very proud of me as it was very high and very scary.
Check out this guy and his ball skills at the top of a pole at the Sacre Cour (the beautiful Sacred Heart church at the top of a hill overlooking paris).
