Today was another busy and fun day. We started out at an open air market around mom and dad’s hotel. They seemed to really enjoy the people and the atmosphere. They like to stop at each little place and check out the food. We brought home some cheese and sweets for dinner and had some sandwiches along the way. We had planned on seeing the Louvre Museum today but it was actually pretty sunny for a change, so we instead went to the Hotel d’Invalides area, and took in the Musee Rodin and Dome Church. We were able to walk along the Seine River and see some of the great bridges as well. The Invalides area has a lot of nice greenery and we walked a long ways. Everyone was pretty tired after it was over. The outside of the Dome Church is incredible, and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. Inside was also fantastic, with riches galore all over the place. Napoleon’s Tomb is quite a site. We made our way home by way of the Latin Quarter, and also taking in Notre Dame from afar. The Latin Quarter was really crowded, with the many different restaurants and shops buzzing. Mom and dad are really getting to see how big a city this is. We had hoped to take a Boat Ride tonight, but it was pretty windy and we were all tired. We’ll try to fit that in another time. Sara made another great dinner tonight– a French Raclette with potatoes and melted cheese. Everyone really enjoyed it! Dad is also liking all of the great wine. Tomorrow we are planning to go out to Versailles, and also to attend an Easter Service at Notre Dame. Hopefully we can get in, as it will likely be very crowded. More reports to come– directly from Mom and Dad when possible. Keep checking in! We’ve put some pictures up below (Dad took most of these):
