Another sunny warm day. Big contrast between central Ohioans and Parisians. In this weather at home I would have seen shorts and many pairs of flip-flops. Here there were many still in winter coats with wool scarves wrapped around throats.
Walked to Marche Bastille this morning. A mixture of a traditional food market and flea market with mostly new, inexpensive items.
These were our treasures. With lefover baguette and cheese from last night and our sauteed veggies had a delicious lunch.
Had breakfast sitting in the park at Place des Vosges. Ross found a shop that sold was a patisserie, sushi shop, sold sandwiches and beer, if it had sold pizza as well he'd never shop anywhere else.
Took the metro to the Champs-Elysees and walked down to L'Arc de Triomphe. The very definition of monumental.
Walked over the river and along the bank to the Eiffel Tower. Along the river are carousels, souvenir venders, stands selling glaces, crepes, even hot dogs. Walked on to the gardens to rest my very sore feet. lots of people sitting on benches, the grass, children running around, groups of students on tours, grandmeres...
