Sabbatical Blog: 9/7 Paris, France

9/7 Paris
We got another late start today, awake at 2PM and out the door by 5pm. We’re setting our alarm for tomorrow. Today we headed for the Champs Elysees and the Arc di Triumphe. It’s a nice walk up and down the Champs Elysees. The streets are lined with designer boutiques for pretty much any designer you can think of. We then walked the other direction towards the Musee Louvre and saw the pyramid lit up at night. I forgot just how large the Louvre was until we started getting up close.

After our experience with the Civil War Museum, we decided it wasn’t worth going in the Louvre. It was already late at this point so we headed back to the Hotel. After putting Kylie down, I ventured out in search of a Cappucino, the Jazz club just outside the Hotel unfortunately charged a 25 Euro cover charge, so I ended up in the Hotel lobby for a caffeinated beverage.

The Arc di Triumphe.





The Champs-Elysees with the Grand Arch at La Defense in the packground.


The Louvre entrance and Pyramid at night.


Waiting for the Metro to get back to the hotel. Lot's of walking today. The Metro is not stoller friendly.
