My fever spiked during the night and the coughing was pretty bad. Jeanne found a Dr. for me to see a short walk away and off we went. It was the strangest thing--a building with just the Dr's name on a small placard outside and a doorbell like you'd see in apt buildings. We kept buzzing until someone finally let us in. There was one door in the hallway marked medicine cabinet so Jeanne opened the door and went in. There wasn't a receptionist, the doctor herself...

Our flight arrived right on schedule, but instead of pulling up to a gate, we had to climb down a flight of stairs and take a shuttle bus over to the terminal where our baggage could be claimed. This wasn't so bad, but then we had to go through customs and waited for an hour and 15 minutes to get our passports stamped. I had started running a fever at this point, and felt wretched.

This morning we had a tour planned for Notre Dame and then we had the rest of the day to try to hit as many of the sights that we could since tomorrow we're journeying out to Versailles for an all day excursion. But first...our adventure at The Moulin Rouge last night. We were pretty exhausted as we walked down the road at 7:00 pm last night to catch the subway that would take us to the stop that was literally right next to Moulin Rouge. However, once we were on...
