After breakfast of croissants and cafe creme at the cafe next to our hotel, we were off to Notre Dame and Ile St. Louis.Very hot today, 85F and being a weekend the city is really crowded. We bought sandwiches and a little carafe of wine and sat on the edge of the Seine to eat. Many, many boat tours! I can't ever remember seeing so many at one time! We walked and walked and have plans for staying in our own neighboorhood tonight to eat. The river and the Eiffel Tower are both a short walk from us and we were thinking about the Bateau Mouche. Rain is predicted, not sure when it will arrive, umbrellas in hand, we will continue on!!
Late evening: After we ate , we took a ride on the Bateau Mouche on the Seine. We saw parts of Paris by water we had not seen before! We started at the Eiffel Tower, which was twinkling at 10pm and it was not quite dark yet! Later videos in the dark, this photographer screwed up. Too bad. A late night glass of wine was had at the same place we ate - Cafe du Marche and somewhere around 1pm we walked across the street to our hotel and went to bed! For those wondering, we both had the daily special plats - steak!
Croissants look REALLY fresh and good!! Dad looks like he is having a good time :)

ReplyDeleteYou took the Métro even with the threat of gangs?
ReplyDeleteHi! I think Karl and Margie tapped into your blog? OK, this sounds wonderful and to your credit you adapt so well to delays or changes---a very Rick-thing to do. Now, if I may ask a Tom thing? In your nice cruise on the Seine did you notice the France Television building past the Tour Eifel? That's a place I'd love to see---no comment on their output. This makes me want to plan a trip! Ride on!
