Yesterday I thought I'd give myself a mid-week break from all the intense walking around I've been doing, and since it was raining and we decided we weren't going to be able to make it out to Versaille with this weather.
But the break didn't last long... I ended up taking a stroll mid-morning to kill some time, and wound up down by the Seine and Le Grand Palais et Petit Palais. The view from the Pont Alexandre is one of the best in Paris, but I forgot my camera, so you'll have to just believe me.
Somehow I got myself lost trying to get back home, and I found myself inadvertently on the Champs Elysee... Don't worry, I didn't do any shopping. With shoes running for a minimum of 1,600 Euros, even one tiny purchase would have been totally impossible. Not to mention completely ridiculous!
I managed to find a bus to take me back to Montparnasse, and joined Andrea at home for a late lunch of fish and chips. Afterwards, we decided to head out again, this time to Le Marais, where we were able to enjoy the neighborhood and picturesque Place de Vosges despite the rainy weather.
By evening, we were still tromping around Les Marais, and seeing as Oberkampf is just a skip and a jump away, we decided to go out to dinner at La Lubie! Yes, again. I think I'm going to make this into a tradition. Daniel and I discovered the small restaurant last year while staying in an apartment a couple of blocks away, and we liked it so much we returned there twice, maybe three times, for dinner. We already took Andrea here on Saturday evening when we arrived, and she liked it so much that she was almost more excited than I was about going back.
After a couple mojitos each, some really good food, and a lot of girl talk, we headed back home on the subway. And went straight to bed, exhausted, after yet another day of touring Paris.
Here are some pictures.
