Another Day in Paris - Wednesday April 15

So much to see and so little time! Susan had shopping to do in Paris. I had to see the Louvre, the Cimetiere Du Pere La Chaise, Musee Picasso, Notre Dame and Jardin des Tuileries and any other sight I could cram in! Sue hoped to meet for lunch but I know how good I am at getting lost so could not ensure I could be anywhere at any determined time (right Fred?) Susan had oriented me to map reading and noting the direction the pictures of buildings were on the map and this was essential to my finding a few of the above spots. First stop was Notre Dame for a tour and Mass. Then on to the wonderful calm Tuileries Gardens with chairs set around the fountain for a few minutes rest before I began the Louvre tour (I thought those audios were going to be easy to use!?) I passed by the smaller fountain to watch the children using sticks to keep their sailboats on the water. Ah if it was only that easy!
The bus 69 would have gotten me to the cemetery where famous people were buried and to see the splendid tombstones but I opted for the Art Gallery. At this museum too, people were taking camera and video pictures of the nice pictures and sculptures - the Mona Lisa and the statue of Venus De Milo reside there.
I managed to find my way back to the hotel in time to collapse and rest up so I could pretend I was not exhausted before Susan returned. But it did not work - we were both tired and though Susan had organizedly gotten underground tickets to get us to the Eurostar we took a very relaxing and energy saving taxi!
The Eurostar can travel at 300 km/hr and had us back in London in about two hours. Sue met a friend at her local pub and I did some interneting. Love that bed!
