We've had a great time in Paris -- lots of crepes and coffee. This morning, Dan accidentally ordered a dessert for breakfast -- a "patisserie" instead of a "pastry." But it was no big deal, because we have done a lot of walking all over Paris.
Ground we covered: the Arc d' Triumph, the Champs Elysee (where there is a wonderful little cafe called Laduree), the Place de La Concorde, the Tuileries, Musee d' Orsey, Montmartre, St. Germain, Les Invalides (where Napolean Bonaparte is buried), the Eiffel Tower, a cruise on the River Seine, Notre Dame, and Ile St. Louis. WHEW. Here are a few pictures:
The Eiffel Tower does exist!
Notre Dame Cathedral
A whole shop full of cheese!
Swing Jazz band -
they played one of my favorite songs from the movie Chocolat.
Didn't you love the Musee d'Orsay? Everything you've ever seen in pictures!
ReplyDeleteSeriously! So you've been? Were there a lot of Monet pieces when you went? We didn't see too many. But we did see a lot Manet pieces. Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteI remember turning a corner and there was "Whistler's Mother"! I think there were pretty many of Monet at the time.
ReplyDeleteYour first picture of you and Dan at the Eiffel Tower looks like a postcard!! Cute :)
