Club Sandwich Museum style<\/p><\/div>\n

Today was the day for the Musee de Louvre at the east end of the Jardin des Tuileries. We arrived at about 10 AM and the line was short so we entered through security and down to purchase our tickets. Much to our surprise because Shelley was using a cane to walk her and an escort got in free. \u00a0So for three people we only had to buy 1 ticket, saving 34\u20ac. We\"\"<\/a> wandered around the museum for hours, Pat and I have not been there in about 10 years, even though we have visited Paris often. The museum interior has changed a great deal, for the better, it’s still confusing with \u00bd floor especially because we were trying to use elevators as much as possible due to Shelley’s knees but we managed. We decided to have lunch in one of the museums cafes we chose Cafe Richelieu Angelina not for any special reason other than it was in the area where we were. The food was \"\"<\/a>OK for museum food, Pat had a Caesar Salad with chicken, Shelley a Croque Monsieur and I had a Club Sandwich, none of which were normal for Paris but we found them acceptable.<\/p>\n

A few more hours and we headed home to put our feet up, ice Shelley’s Knee for a bit before we head over to La Cordonnerie for dinner. So far we have clocked about 5 miles.<\/p>\n

On the way back to the apartment following a great dinner at La Cordonnerie we stop at Trocadero and got off the metro and waited for the Eiffel Tower to begin it 10 minutes of flashing which it does every hour on the hour from 9pm in the summer until 1am. \u00c2\u00a0Winter hours are slightly longer.[print_gllr id=2603]<\/p>\n
