Paris by night

We just went to the highest building in Paris - 55 floor- and watched the city of lights come alive.

Chocolate museum

Oh my!! This was top on our list to do today. A museum dedicated to chocolate.

A great history lesson with a fun activity for kids. Followed by a demonstration and tasting of pralines and various chocolates ... And a proper hot chocolate.. Mmmmmmmm

Street Performers

Plenty of them about, but sadly the only type Lilly wanted to see- and perhaps its just so old hat no-one does it any longer- the mime.. Have seen zilch of them. Some great singers along the canals, some enterprising ones turn up in a metro carriage dragging their own accompanying music backtrack and sporting a microphone .. Lilly was fascinated by the guy in the gold lame sarcophagus .. She wanted to know why anyone would give him money for doing nothing.. Fair point. He bowed when she gave him some coins 

Yeah got sucked into wearing a berret

Say no more.. When in Paris... Just in case people don't know who the tourists are.. Shove a beret on

The Lourve

Some gratuitous selifies... and then some of the highlights from today.  oh man our feet and legs hurt.. so many stairs and corridores in this place.. and we didn/t see most of it'

I wanted to see Mona Lisa.. and some of the Eguyptian art.. we also got in some early Itlin painging. Leonardo s stuff.. and some  early Christian attwork.  By then we were over it...and just wanted to lay down.

Because it was such a wet miserable day.. every man and his pony was in the musem today.

Whats on my street?

These are all shops in the street we are staying in. The most gorgeous fruit a`nd veges you can imagine. Every piece is a work of art, polishd and placed in the perfect spot.

of course there is a cheese shop... yummm... and one I.ve not een before - basically somehere you can buy inner at - all resteraunt quality dishes, from beef stews to pastas, to steamed or roast veges, even mashed potao.. ( bet its amazing..)

at many places we passed tonight, there wer little rotissaries with chicken turning on them. the smell was amazing.  Who wants to cook if this is at your doorstep every night?

Cant wait to share all of this with Adrian and Morgan when we come back to Paris. Age and I loved Paris... And I look forward to loving it agsin with my sweetheart!!
