After Starbucks we may go.... well..... who knows. There is a Sewer Tour that looks interesting. Ahhhh ... as they say..... when in Paris

... got really annoyed at him so at the end I said to him, "excuse me sir, do you have to stare" angrily but he didn't understand English. There was this other guy who came up to us and wanted to know what race Jen was. She is mixed. But why would you just come up to us to ask that. He kept saying stuff like, "where is she from? I can't tell what she is" She ignored him, and Leigh was so annoyed she said, "SHE'S CANADIAN." Then he got ...

... getting up regularly throughout the night to check that Tom was still breathing, and the wake-up call came all too soon to get us up and on the road again. Mike: Arriving at our in Paris, I was again delighted that the location was fabulous and even better than I had gleaned from the internet, in the heart of the Marais district, full of life and surrounded by quirky little cafes and restaurants, and within a short wander of the Left Bank. Meeting my mother ...

This stop marks my first time on European soil! Even though the entire stay here was in the airport, I can now say that "I have been in Paris". At least I was able to have a "real" French croissant for breakfast. :-)

... they have in here seems to be perfectly adequate. I would love a place this small: less to clean. More time to spend on other stuff. After dinner I will upload some pictures of our day and a few of the apartment. Then it's time for bed: after all that walking, along with being hot, we are rather tired. Tomorrow is supposed to be a trip to the parc zoologique (zoo), the Bois de Vincennes, the aquarium and the Promenade Plantée, all in 12e.

... really not that expensive. And easy to sleep. And yummy croissants. Anyway, in Paris we stayed in Montmatre at a pretty good budget hotel called Bonsejour. We strolled the streets, went up Sacre Cour, took our obligatory photo outside the Moulin Rouge (we decided €140 was a bit much for dinner & a show), checked out Notre Dame, strolled by the Seine, looked at (but not in) the Lourve ...

Paris! Talk about a city living up to all the hype. We'd had such expectations but we didn't imagine just how wonderful a place it is. It staggers with its beauty, it inspires romance and we'd guess it makes people more happy to be alive than almost anywhere in the world. We went there determined to see plenty but not be slaves to a long list of 'must see' attractions. We wanted to explore side streets, take time to drink coffee and ...

... are really tired now, and Godwin can't believe I've made him walk so much already. So we grab a quick dinner along the way and take the metro back to our hotel. And that's the end of day 1. Day 2. September 9th. Friday. We head to the breakfast room in the basement of the hotel. Its not too bad, croissants, baguettes, coffee... The hotel has free Internet access in the lobby, which is pretty cool. We take the metro to Ile de la Cite, one of ...
