We walked the Champs Elyeés today... Meh. Lots of people,overpriced crap, it was like French Las Vegas Not for me! But I can see that other people enjoyed it. There was a queue ( line) to get into Abercrombie and Fitch !!! REALLY?!!! the only store that might have got a dime from me is NAF NAF. Also the absolute BEST time with some home grown folks. Dwanna and her husband were fabulous hosts! We had great wine and food,and awesome quality time. These guys w...

Our friends have arrived!!! Yea!! We met with the Paris greeter today. She was a very sweet older lady. I should be embarrassed to say it but she walked us into the GROUND!! She lead us thru the Marais like a conductor leading a symphony. She was awesome !!! We went into gardens and parks. We saw restaurants and beautiful churches. Heck we even saw a restaurant in a church( Le Dome du Marais). We have returned to the apartment for a nap before dinner.

After seeing the Egyptian exhibit we were half dead. We stopped for lunch at some random place ( food was ok). I had some Tea, William had macaroons at a very cool tea shop. . The tea rejuvenated me enough to walk to the taxi stand! I loved the exhibit but I can't help thinking how incredibly cheeky it is to enter someone's home take their things and make a profit for 'your' trouble. Don't get me wrong I LOVE museums, but I always feel a little conflicted.....

Looks like the rain is going to reschedule our Marais tour. Off to the Louvre. Just as well, because we missed our scheduled visit on yesterday.

Yes ... I got to the boulanegrie (bakery) this morning, and dropped 20 ero on an assortment of breads, croissants, cookies, and such. Did I overdo it? Maybe. But I can guarantee you that none of it will go to waste (waist, perhaps, but not waste). We're on the way to meet a pariesien tourguide. This organization provides them for free (of course, donations are accepted). Going to huff it through the Marais district. A bientot!
