Slow down David....my feet hurt !!!

Wow....we have seen a lot of Paris in the past two days....and had a blast doing it.  We started yesterday with Garden des Plantes, King Luis XIV's herb garden.  And let me introduce you to Flat Stanley....he is a friend of our Granddaughter Amelia's class who is accompanying us on this trip.


Then off to St. Sulpice for an incredible pipe organ concert.


Next was a pass through the Market at Place Monge.....a very nice French flea market.


We then took a brief rest at the apartment, then set out in late afternoon for Montmarte and Sacra Cour area.  We walked up and down the hils, enjoyed the sunset view and had a wonderful dinner at one of the local restaurantes there.





Today's travels began with the Louvre....amazing simply by it's sheer size.  We chose to pick a few topics to view before we became brain dead.  We viewed the Dutch paintings so that we could see the Rembrandts, viewed the furnishings from Napolean's palace, and viewed the garden statuaries.


We laid low at the apartment this evening with some cheese, chicken and wine that we brought in and resting up for another big adventure tomorrow......bicycles and a castle tour.
