Paaris Tour

We did all kinds of touristy things today including a Seine boat ride, lunch looking at the Arc de Triomphe, seeing the Eiffel Tower and getting lost in all parts of the town despite maps, maps, and more maps. It is discouraging that when we show the maps to the Parisians and try to ask where we are, they not only don't understand our feeble French, but they don't seem to be aware of what we think the maps are trying to show. Nonetheless, we did manage to reach the Rodin museum (most interesting) and will try to find our way to Versailles tomorrow. If there is no message here for a few days, be aware that getting to and from Versailles was more complicated than expected.

I got the web address tonight and of course have promptly emailed it to everyone! Happy travels and I'll be following along. : )

Glad you liked Rodin's home. And when you go to Versailles, don't get off at the wrong station like Jacqui and I did. Thanks for the updates. This message is really just to let you know that they are being read and appreciated. And, for the Love of God, be sure to get to Montmartre.

I love following your travels. I will be living vicariously through you. I especially love the pictures of the tulips. Be safe!

The French understood you... they just chose to pretend otherwise!
