Since I have no access to my laptop (or too cheap to pay for it at the hotel), I am at the mercy of the hotel's computer and the keyboard is completely different. So if there are a few typos, please bare with me. We woke up very early today, had a delicious fresh baguette and took the subway to the Louve. We bought our museum pass and joined all of the school field trips to explore this magnificent building. Of course we had to see the Venus di Milo and the Mona Lisa but also explored less viewed parts of this palace.
We then went to St. Chappelle and Notre Dame (no wonder my feet are killing me). I am not sure why we packed so much into one day but we did. I had taken my then eleven year old son to St. Chappelle twelve years ago and loved it so much. I had such vivid memories of it, with its floor to ceiling stain glass windows and its serene atmosphere. Well, it was beautiful, but not like my memory had envisioned -- very interesting. I still enjoyed it -- just different. I am going to write more about these places when I have my cheat sheets with me, but Tom is waiting patiently for me to get ready for dinner -- we are going to try to find a restaurant where the locals go. Wish me luck.
