Today we went on a ~3 mile walking tour across Paris. We started in our backyard on the Ile de la Cite - where Paris began. After the beautiful stain glass in Sainted Chapelle, we climbed up to Quasimodo's home, the bell towers of Notre Dame. It was a highlight, and we took our time, savoring it. We lunched in the Latin Quarter, then walked to the Pantheon. We strolled through Luxembourg Park, which was quite nice. Lastly we saw Napoleon's tomb and the WWII museum. We dropped the kids off at "home" and went out to grab groceries - by way of a bar.
We used any excuse we could to sit down today. We unintentionally attended mass at Notre Dame since it meant we could rest out feet - though ironically, Catholics are known for standing through mass (and Greg was actively participating). Paris parks have the best reclining seats, which we made sure to use. And in the museum we watched as many videos as possible.
Good day - tiring - and glad to be home relaxing.
