Paris Day 3
Another day of perfect weather in Paris. The sun
was shining, the fall weather crisp and cool.
People are all bustling about and mostly happy.
We had another French breakfast at the hotel, did
some more shopping for dolls and watches, had a
great lunch on the I’lle St. Louis and then started
checking out where we were to eat tonight and where
some of the other couples are staying near the
Louvre. We found the hotel but not the restaurant.
We got caught up with John and Ingrid Jensen after
they checked into our hotel also. They had toured
Paris early in the week and then driven to Normandy
Beach and St. Malo and had a great time exploring
the area. By then it was time to have the taxi
driver find the Restaurant for us – which he did
with ease. It would have been an easy Metro ride
for us if we had just known where it was located.
Sixteen of us that will be on the barge trip out of
twenty gathered at 7:30pm at the L’Absinthe Restaurant
The food was great and the camaraderie barge ready.
Thanks to Peter and Jo Mazula for setting it up!
Afterwards Gary Galusha was the tour guide to get
us all back to the right Metro stop going back to
our hotels. It was John and Ingrid’s first Metro
experience – but now they are seasoned veterans.
Tomorrow will be day one of the Barge trip!
