Wow! Three days since we blogged. We have been extremely busy running around the city and taking in the sights. We have climbed more stairs than I thought existed in the world. People watching is one of our favorite activities and we have eaten at least once a day in an outdoor cafe. I think that a book on the shoes of Paris, with photos taken of them from a cafe would be marvelous. The variety of footwear for both men and women is astounding. Food at the cafes is very good and filling.
BRUCE: Sunday we walked to the Luxembourg Gardens, considered by some to be the prettiest gardens in the city. We enjoyed watching children sail their old fashioned sailboats in the ponds, pushing them off at one side of the pond with their sticks and running to the other side to catch them with their sticks.
Mari: I had a nice chat with an Irish woman who offered to take our picture. She was there with the oldest of their four children, taking a holiday after returning her great aunt, a nun, back to Paris.
Bruce: It was a long walk there and back (Mari: my feet attest to that) and we discovered some new neighborhoods.
