July 10, 2013 -- We Arrive in Paris
We left our house at 6:30 am and arrived in Paris around 10:00 am. The trip from the airport to the hotel was over an hour. We got to experience lovely Paris traffic. We left our bags at the hotel and headed to the Metro. I gave the woman at the information desk the address and she told us the Metro lines that we needed to take to the crepe restaurant. We got off at the Montparnasse and found our way easily to La Creperie Josselin for lunch (S and I were very impressed with our navigation skils). The girls had sweet crepes and miracle of miracles, Elinor finished her lunch first.
Next we headed on foot to the Luxembourg Gardens and then next to Notre Dame. After Notre Dame, we walked along the Seine and then got a metro to the Eiffel Tower. Finally, our exhausted group took the metro to the hotel and checked in. After an hour reprieve, we got a cab to Ze Kitchen Galerie. We had a great dinner and then headed to the Eiffel Tower for an evening view. S, Elinor and Ana took the elevator up to the second level of the Eiffel Tower while Katie and I watched from below (Katie was too chicken -- a bit afraid of heights). We finally made it back to our hotel a little after midnight.
