Where's our Mama? Things are just not the same. After a smooth and early arrival to Paris we quickly headae to the market to stock up on some supplies...beer, wine, baguette, and cheese. (what else do you need) Fortunate for us the Marchée de Lévis is only a block away where we find a plethora of everything you can imagine. Including fresh from the oven croissants which "Super Julie" managed to bring home for breakfast.
So although we have a week in Paris time is flying. So many things to see. Thus far we have enjoyed a bus tour of Paris, visited the Louvre, the Musée D'Orsay, cruised the Seine at night, seen the Eiffel Tower (first night), visited some dead folks at the Cimetière du Père Lachaise, sampled some fine french pastries on Champs D'Elysée and enjoyed a real happy hour at a neighbourhood brasserie. Still to come is Centre Pompidou (heading there after our blogging), Chateau Versailles (tomorrow)and night at the Moulin Rouge. Friday free leisurely day to enjoy the sound, sight and taste of Paris. Our big bang finish will be to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower for a panoramic night view of Paris. Then sadly return home to Ottawa Saturday morning.
We are including a few pictures, for starters our first view of the Eiffel Tower...breathtaking. We all agree it looks more beautiful all lit up at night. And periodically it even twinkles. A picture of us standing inside the glass pyramid of the Louvre. And a night shot of the Arc de Triomphe. Ever tried crossing an 8 lane circle of traffic...IMPOSSIBLE!
Suffice it to say WE ARE LOVING PARIS!!! We hate the French keyboards at the internet café (which are difficult to find) but the people are friendly & accommodating.
This will likely be our last post before heading home. Thanks for checking in and sharing our journey. Aurevoir!
The Girls minus Mama.
