Paris Day 2

Another busy day on our own exploring Paris.  It started by sleeping in then straight to lunch at a local bistro. We nicknamed it ratatouille for the rat we saw running up the wall. Food was good, service was a little rude.

We took the Metro (subway) to the Louvre. 

we had a Starbucks on the way.  

and then on to the lock bridge, where we looked for our lock from last year. 

Bought some artwork at a street vendor.

The rest of the pictures will be uploaded later.  

we spent time getting to know the Metro here (Subway). Took it everywhere today.  Sometimes a bit hot, but an easy way to get around.  

We went back to the hotel to see if we could get reservations for dinner anywhere.  Our tour guide made them for us at a wonderful restaurant In Montmartre near the to Sacre Cour.   Great outside French restaurant.  We took the funicular up the hill.   Such a great view of the city.  

We went back to the Eiffel Tower to see it light up at 11:00.  Spectacular. 

Then back on the Metro  at midnight.  We saw a fight, a real knock down. Looked like two groups of boys fighting over who knows whats. One guy got beat up pretty bad.  

Then we had Late night drinks, before packing up for our next leg....we leave tomorrow morning for Rome.
