Thanks for stopping by to see what we are up to! This blog will chronicle our journey around the globe. Don't forget to "follow us" on the left hand side so that you get updated when we post (2x a week). And of course, read the "Dare to Donate" section on the right hand side and think of something clever to dare us to do!

Dare 5 Complete

My dad dared us to go to the 5 most popular bridges in Paris and kiss on them. We did so, and didn't realize until after that we could have taken the pictures ourselves. Needless to say it was a little awkward asking people to take our photo while doing this, adding some good flavor to the dare.

On Pont Neuf, looking down on the Seine and the Plage.


Pont de Archeveche - Sarah thought it would be really funny to "dip" me on this one...it was a back breaker! Significance of the locks is an old tale. Apparently people come here and put a lock on the bridge to signify their love and throw the key into the Seine, thus locking in their love forever. Funny thing is, the city has to come around and cut them all off each year because they get too full (no wonder the divorce rates are so high). Sarah and I opted out of this cheesy tradition.
