Back from Paris
Assumption falling on a Tuesday this year gave us a 4-day weekend, and I took Friday off as well to have 4 days to spend with mom and Emilie in Paris, plus today to recover!
We had a good visit, on Friday seeing the Musée d'Orsay--which, ironically, Emilie and I hadn't been to since our class trip there (together) back in high school! We also took a tour up the Seine on a bâteau mouche. Oh, and before I got there on Wednesday and Thursday the ladies visited Montmartre and Sacré Cœur, the Tuileries, the Orangerie, parc Monceau, and the Cluny mediæval museum.
Saturday we saw the Jacquemart-André museum which was really nice (I hadn't been there before), shopping at the Galerie Lafayette, la Madeleine, and on up to the top of the Arc de triomphe. Sunday we went to Versailles, and on Monday we went up the Eiffel tower. Pictures of it all can be seen by clicking on the picture.
