second day in Paris



PARIS DAY#2
What a fast day. Paris is a beautiful city, and from what we have seen so far very clean. In the Metro there is not a scrape of garbage. At least at this time of year there is no smell either.
The Day started with us catching the metro to the Picasso museum. We were there for a little over an hour. It was very interesting, I did not know that he worked in many different mediums. We then walked back toward the river and crossed on to the Isle St Luis.
We found the cheapest cafĂ© we could find. We had 2 “chez beregers” and a glass of wine a piece. Only 31€. We then crossed onto another island and the went through Notre Dame. It was a very interesting church put was over shadowed by the Vatican.
Next we traveled via metro to the Luvre. We managed to hit most of the major Items I wanted to see. We spent a little over 2 hours and we really only covered one wing. After trying to find the exit for some time we headed home. We rested for about an hour and a half.
We then headed to the efiel tower. We took the metro again to help save on some of the walking. The line for tickets was not too long and moved quickly. We then traveled up the tower by elevator.
After coming down we sat in the park in front of the tower. We waited for the light show to start at 9pm. I guess it was not dark enough yet because nothing happened. The first show must be a 10.
We left and took the metro toward the flat.
We had vine, chips and ham and cheese baguette.
