Sep 13th... We all met in in Paris. N & K got there before we did. They had lunch and took a nap and then we all went out to dinner at a nice little local place 3 blocks from the apartment.
The food was great, and we had a blast.
The next day when we got up, our Key West kids were ready to run. I was surprised. They did very well getting over the jet lag thing. In fact, after the first day and a good night sleep it seemed like they WERE over it. That could be the fastest recovery I've seen Especially for their first time here.
(well many years for Karen)
Sep 14th, We took off for a nice walk through Luxembourg Gardens (only 3 blocks from our apartment). We wandered up through St. Germain area passed tons of restaurants and bars and a fun night life area to the river front and on along the Seine River through downtown Paris making our way to the Eiffel Tower.
We walked passed the Louvre Museum. It takes up about 6 city blocks. If you walked from end to end on each floor inside that museum, you would cover 13 miles. It a big large. We went INTO the Museo D'Orsay across the river from the Louvre. My personal museum there. It is smaller, easier to navigate and they have plenty of classic and contemporary art as well as sculpture on display.
We ended up putting on about 5 miles that day. Didn't see it coming. It happens a lot in Paris. Even using the Metro you still walk a ton. But had great weather.

The sculptures are very curious to me. Maybe to much De Vinche Code.
