Nice parking job!
We could not have had a better day that this one. Check out the sky!
We arrived in Paris at 6:30am this morning. It had just finished raining and it did not rain again until around 7pm in the evening. In fact, we had clear blue skies throughout the day. It also happened to be a Holiday in Paris. It is the celebration of the end of World War I. So we had Paris almost to ourselves for the entire morning and more people came out to jog, shop or eat later in the day.
Today, we visited the Royal Palace Gardens, just one block up from out Hotel. Then, we crossed the Seine and went over the Les Invalides to visit Napoleon Bonaparte's tomb along with the museum of World War I and II. We had Onion French soup and red wine for lunch before we headed for the Eiffel Tower. Many people were having picnics on the lawn and kids were riding their bikes or skating around. It seems that there were more locals than tourists!
For dinner, we went to a restaurant located across from the Hotel De Ville. We have been there twice before. While we were having dessert, we asked the waiter to tell us about a night club with Latin Music and he gave us direction to one that plays Salsa. Before we had finished with our dessert, the waiter had Salsa music playing in the restaurant: Oscar de Leon (a popular salsa singer from Venezuela) nonetheless. So, Ed and I ended up dancing in the restaurant. Not bad for our first day. :-)
Cheers!

Yamilet! que lindo dia tuvieron. Sobre Napoleon: un gran tipo y hay mucha historia sobre el, pero hay un dicho que dijo que no es tan conocido.. "la batalla cotra las mujeres es la unica batalla que se gana huyendo" .. Si puedes pon tu itinerario online.. un besote Patricia
Hola Patricia,

That desert looks good! The parking spaces are so close together there in Paris.
Oh guys, it sounds just perfect!! George was so jealous when he dropped you off at the airport and now listening to your beautiful day, so am I! You deserve all the peace and happiness this trip will bring to you! ENJOY!!!

Ed and Yamilet. I am jealous as I would much rather be in Paris. I have memories of Roma. Enjoy and eat plenty of jambon y fromage crepes (my favorite)
George
George, MaryLou, wish you guys were here with us. We are having a wonderful time. The weather has been beautiful, and the City is not as crowded as we have seen it other times. We have walked a lot, drank lots of red wine and eaten lots of good food. The more we visit, the more we love this city.
Saludos,
Ed and Yamilet
This is the first chance I had to look at your pictures. I'm glad you both had a great time, you deserve it! Oye, nosotros los Cubanos estamos donde quiera..si hay vino y pan we are set! Cariños!
