Yesterday we had an intense city tour of Paris. Our guide, Katherine, was full of wonderful information (historical and otherwise) that added so much value to the sights we were experiencing. Among the sights we saw were the Pantheon (where among many other notables, the following people are entombed: Rousseau, Voltaire, Curie, Hugo, Dumas and Braille), the Latin Quarter, the red light district including Moulin Rouge, the Louvre, Orsay, Napoleon's Tomb, the Eiffel Tower (of course) and Notre Dame. Because Notre Dame was our last stop, we stayed for mass. What an experience to hear mass at Notre Dame cathedral!
We got caught in a rain storm and ate at a nearby bistro. We finally made it home where the girls who seemed exhausted called it an early night (or so I like to think).
Tomorow we're meeting at 2:00 p.m. to go shopping - I hope the girls know the meaning of the word budget. This evening we're going on a boat ride on the Seine. Stay tuned and enjoy the blog!
