may 7 Paris











Another day exploring everywhere...Champs Elysees from Place de la Concorde to L'arc de Triomphe, Hotel de Ville, Pompidou Centre, Trocadero, Opera Granier, Les Invalides.etc..etc.. Mom and I took the bus tour around the city after lunch.

Another cool thing in Paris are the Velib which are the bikes for rent all over the city. They have rows of bikes parked and you can "borrow" them and then take them wherever and return them to another stand when you are all done..how great is that!!

Tonight Mom, Dad and I went to Isabelle's home! Isabelle was our exchange student back in high school and the next year I stayed in Paris with her family! It didn't feel as though we hadn't seen each other in 23 years !!! We went to her home and met her husband Patrick and the beautiful Clarisse who is 2! They have a lovely home in Paris where Isabelle served up a great meal, we were there until 11pm and Clarisse was a doll every minute, she had gone over to the couch and fallen asleep at the end of the evening.....so sweet!!! A fabulous way to end our time in Paris!
