Bonjour! 49 degrees this morning when we woke, but turned into a beautiful sunny day.
We headed out to the open air market in the area where we are staying and they had fresh produce, fish, cheeses, breads, pastries, wine. We got figs, croissants, pastries, brie, chevre and blue cheeses, cantaloupe, Crenshaw, a type of melon, wine and brought it back to our house to enjoy.
We then went to the museum D'Orsay, which is huge. We saw Rodin's The Thinker, lots of Claude Monet paintings, Pissaro, and Van Gogh. Before we finished we stopped for lunch at a Cafe inside the museum and two of us had a chicken stir fry, one had quiche Lorraine and another had a vegetarian dish.
Finished the museum and then sat by the River Seine where some of us had drinks and water. Lots of boat traffic. Decided to do a boat cruise which would take us near Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. We started out in daylight and then as the boat did its tour we could see the Eiffel Tower all lit up. Just amazing! What an immense structure.
Worked our way back home walking and riding the metro and had another late nite.
That is a good price on the oysters!
