Day 2 in Paris

Day 2 in Paris:

Louvre
Champs Elysees
Arc de Triomphe
Seine


Marja Liisa and Mona Lisa


"I want Gum Gum"



Waiter at the Louvre with a heavily hairsprayed Mullet


Beignets de sucre and Diet Coke (no ice)at the Louvre Cafe


248 steps later, we made it to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.


Alex has triumphed!

We tried to go to D'Chez Eux for typical French dinner but it was closed until Monday. We kept walking and found "Le Tanney". We looked at the menu and it was all in French. A nice owner of the place came over who didn't speak English. Luckily we had Alex with us and he was able to translate some of the conversations. Although we weren't sure what we ordered, everything was so delicious. 2.5 hours later we left the restaurant totally satisfied.

Marja's "Bar Portion Grille". Wasn't sure what I was getting. But this is what was brought to me with Parmesan Risotto. This whole meal was delicious.

"Encourtes farcis a la Plancha" is what Rod ordered. Rod:"Looks like some kind of bird". I thought that it was possibly a duck leg. After tasting, Rod realized that it was stuffed squid.


Alex's favorite dessert: Creme Brulee.
Walked 4-5 miles today.

Tomorrow: Versailles

The picture of you and Rodney on Day 1 of Paris is so cute! You look like you are about 16 years old! And the nostrils of Paris!? Where did you ever think of that? You make me want to go back to Paris. You are seeing sights that I have seen and loved!

Words canNOT express how much I LOVE that you posted the Mona Lisa AND the mullet waiter in the same post!

I LOVE that!

My whole family takes pictures of oddities when we are traveling. It's a blast! (we are probably in someone's else travel journal as an oddity. haha)
