This was our only morning to sleep in - and it was nice to know that we didn't have to hurry to drive to the next town. We didnt have much of a plan for today, except to just make our leisurely way about town. It ended up being very busy, and a really great way to spend our last day together.

First off, we walked to the Luxembourg Gardens. It is very near our hotel, and it turned out to be quite a spot for runners. Lots of daisy duke shorts - very interesting. Our next stop was to the Orsay Museum to check out some paintings, but it just took us forever to find the stupid metro station. On top of that, once we got there, the station was closed! Meh! We then finally get to the Orsay, and the line to get in was just too long. Anyway, the jist of the day was walk, eat, drink, take pictures.... here are all the spots we visited today:

Luxembourg Gardens
Orsay Museum (exterior)
Eiffel Tower
Cruise along the Seine - Notre Dame, Place du Concord, Louvre, etc At our hotel
At our hotel

Moulin Rouge (and Cafe Oz for some beers)

Sacre Coeur

Petite Palais
Grande Palais
St. Germain des Pres

It was a busy day, and now we're trying to figure out how we're going to pack all our stuff. It's been a long trip, and even thought we're tired, we're not looking forward to coming back to work. :( Boo hoo... hope you guys all enjoyed reading about our trip and we'll let you all know of a link to see the rest of the photos.
