Last Day In Paris

Our last Day in Paris we would have been sad to leave but: a.) we were tired and needed a rest and b.) we were cold and tired of wearing all our clothes all the time :-) our big purchase in Paris, 3 scarves one for Billy two for me!

This is a picture of me on the Eiffel Tower! We got up and out early, the Tower opens at 9:30 am and we got there by 9am. The lines were long already. We got in the "stairs only" line and waited an hour. Our strategy to wait for better weather worked perfectly but it wasn't warm. We waited for an hour then hit the stairs. They won't let you walk up to the third level any more so you have to take the elevator. It is 704 steps to the second level but they do a nice job with lots of landings. Then it was a nice 40 min wait for the elevator to the top. There is a cute display of the apt. that Eiffel build at the top now that is a view property!!! The whole trip (including coffee on the first floor) took us 4 hours but it was worth it. We had 4 hours left before we had to get back to the airport.

We enjoyed a nice lunch at a Cafe on the Left Bank. Then strolled over to the Musee de Moyenagy it had the famous tapestries of the Lady with the unicorn. It was built on the sight of a medieval church that had once been a roman building. After that we went to see the Ille de l'cite to soak up the history (that is where the Place of Justice and Notre Dame are). Then it was a couple of Metro rides, bus ride and airplane ride and we found ourselves back in Toulouse.

You know I have never been to London I would really like to see London........
