We slept in a little late – Paula and Martin attended Mass at Notre Dame and we agreed to meet them outside Notre Dame at 11:00 AM.<\/p>\n

We stood on the wall surrounding the gardens so they could easily locate us in the throng. Blue skies and warmer weather were a welcome addition to tourist activities planned for the day. We headed over to Ile-St-Louis, across the Seine, and northward to the Marais. First stop was falafels before the crowds descended …..<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Along the Champs Elysees we stopped in a few shops and boutiques, including a Porsche showroom and a Mercedes showroom. \u00c2\u00a0Beautiful cars! \u00c2\u00a0Back in the less expensive part of Paris, closer to our apartment, we settled on dinner at a local restaurant and enjoyed a quiet evening watching Martin and Paula pack…..after a 6 mile day on the tourist trail….<\/p>\n
