At first it was a little overwhelming, but after a few days we have been finding Paris a very easy city to navigate. And despite what stereotype you (and we) had in mind about the French have been nothing but hospitable and friendly to us.
On Sunday we borrowed bikes from the hotel and visited Sacre Coeur and got a great view of the city. Then we visited Notre Dame. The sun came out when we climbed to the top and again, we got a great arial view of Paris. When we were in line, we met a couple from Florida who we have since run into in a number of other tourist locations. At night, we visited a jazz club in the Latin Quarter and watched some really great dancers.

We've had a few cloudy days, but the sun has come out for at least a little while every day...until...yesterday. It was pouring and windy all day, so it was perfect weather for spedmg all day in one of the world's largest museums. As Dad says, "the Louvre was boring, there was nothing to see there". Only the Mona Lisa and a number of world-famous art pieces.

We just finished a breakfast of coffee and croissants ( we have eaten so much bread!) and this afternoon we'll head to Aix en Provence in southern France. More updates to come soon! Au revior !
