Paris Day 3

Paris day #3
Oh my aching feet. We walked quite a bit today. Some of the metro stations are lager than airport terminals. We hoped the metro in the morning and headed to the land of the dead at the Paris catacombs. We walked down a very narrow spiral stair case made of stone. 186 steps down. We walked in dimly lit under ground passage ways until we encountered the land to the dead. Millions of bones pilled high. It was very interesting. We then had to climb only 86 steps out of the crypt. At the top of the winding stairs was the only defibulator I say in Europe.
Next we had a 17€ lunch at chez McDonalds. Then we took a very long metro ride to the Arc De Triomph, Then we waked down the entire Champ-Elysees. We stopped in a few shops along the way. We had some chocolate and banana crepes. Once at the bottom we crossed the river and Headed to Les Invalides. This complex is still a working veterans hospital as well as any army museum and holds Napoleon’s Tomb. The tomb was actually very interesting and best of all it was cool inside. The weather has continued to be in the mid 80s and sunny.
Right down the street was the Rodin museum. We toured only the garden area which was in full bloom, and saw the major sculptures like the thinker and the gates of hell.
It was no about 4pm, so we hoped on metro for the last time and Hit the Orsay Museum. We concentrated on, Van Gogh, Monet and Whistler. We then walked back to the apartment. Rested for about 45 and headed out to see where we needed to go in the AM to catch the bus to the airport. We also need toilet paper, we had been surging for, for quite a while.
Found the bus stop in 10 min. no stores with TP though. Madonna was in town and we ran into the crowds out side where she was performing. Finally found the TP but they did not give us a bag. So we had to go back to the apartment to but it away. Chris had to use it right away only to find out that it was paper towels and not TP.
We headed out and found a store that had the real deal. They were open late so we went to eat first. I was tired and my feet hurt so we picked the first place that looked good. Believe it or not we had one of out best and cheapest meals directly across from the louvre.
We had Vine, and amazing French onion soup. We split an order of escargots( in the shell), quiche lorrain, club sand which, a side of fries. For dessert Chris had some chocolate lady finger thingy. All this was only 41€!!!!
We picked up our TP and headed home. We packed and of to bed.
