The Louvre kicked my ass. What an insane museum. Too much great stuff. Tara proved to be an excellent guide because she was in an art course last year, so she was a fine tour guide when I was able to keep up with her teenage legs. The exit to through the mall was hella harsh. I was so beat that we splurged on a cab to get to la creperia where I indulged in my first parisian crepe (not bad) and french fries (kinda the same as ours - even came with heinz 57)
We have moved hotels. Our first one was very quaint and traditional with an old skool key. New one is a Best Western - we're on the top floor and the ceilings are curved from the roof, plus the elevator runs through the middle of the room, but it has a view of Notre Dame. And the wifi is better.
Yesterday's rain has given way to sunny with clouds. It's pleasant weather, especially since last week was a massive global warming heatwave across Spain & France.
Parisians have been super nice to us. Y'all got that wrong. Maybe they just understand how to deal with tourists here in the tourist zone (we're in the Latin quarter). Y'all were right about one thing tho - it's super expensive. We're trying to just eat one decent meal per day, and get by on market snacks for the rest of the day. Baguettes and cheese are affordable.
