Paris Overview

The last time that I was in Paris was three years ago. The last time Donna was in Paris was thrity years ago. At Bill's suggestion we took a bus tour- only three Euros more for another day. Imagine seeing the Eiffel Tower, Place de la Concord, Tuileries, Notre Dame, the Arc de Triomphe, Musee du Louvre, Ecole Militaire, Champ de Mars, the Louvre (at least the outside) and many other sites all in one day. My memory was of walking down the long, long Champs Elysees on a hot day feeling that I would never arrive at the Arc de Triomphe. This bus transports us all over town, viewing from the top of a bus and free to jump out and explore whereever we wish. It is the first time that I feel that I have a geographical handle on some of Paris's more famous sites.

Uh, the "Your time is almost up." sign has just come up. Better go.
