For some reason the wired internet in the apartment would not work with my computer. It did the last time that we stayed there so I am definitely behind in by blogging. With all the running we did, I did not have the time to do much, so I figure while we are waiting for our flight to Barcelona I will play catch up.
We arrived to rain in Paris. Really who cares it is PARIS. We took the Roissey bus from the airport to the opera which is a 10 min walk of so from out apartment. It was shift change so the ride took a bit longer than usual. The good thing was the we got a free tour of the Martement district. After arriving the apartment in the afternoon. Chris and I tried to take a tour of the opera house but they were in rehearsals so you really could not see much. We bought lunch from a bakery and headed back to rest a while. Later that eve we walked and enjoyed some of the lights of Paris, explored Rue Cleur.
Friday we awoke to more rain. We hoped a train and headed to the country side estate of Versailles We toured the main estates some of the grounds and the home of Marie Antoinette. We returned to Paris for a short rest. We then headed to the Louvre for a late evening visit. We were able to hit most of the main highlight as well as some of the less popular areas as we were lost for about an hour.
Saturday we started out a Notre Dame including the underground archeological crypt. We then we to Saint Chappell and the concierge. For some reason this area of Paris was filled with pet shops. We had to make stops into quite a few of them I seems that Jack Russell are very popular as well as chocolate labs. (1500-1800 us dollars.) Even a few English bull dogs. We then strolled up the Champ de Elyse ro the arch de Triumph. Then It was time to rest out barking dogs.
Later that night we went to the Eiffel tower and watch the light show as well as just enjoying the view. We strolled the streets of Paris, for a long while Rue Cleur ,etc.
What a wonderful Three days.
