This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip...thanks Janis for playing photographer!
Yesterday was quite eventful. We ate breakfast at a petit boulangerie in the 5th. Haley- you would have died! We got our croissants and sat on the patio. The man at the table behind me was feeding the birds and they were swarming everywhere...the wing of one even hit my ear because it was flying so close!
After breakfast, we tried to go to the Marche aux Fleurs (flower market) that was by my old apartment but being a Sunday morning, it wasn't open yet. Since the weather was nice (and by nice, I mean no precipitation), we took the metro to the Eiffel Tower. We took lots of pictures from Place de Trocodero.
Janis wasn't a fan of me walking on ledges (above). We decided to skip actually going up the tower because there were several hundred people waiting to do the same thing.
So, we got back on the Metro and went to the Arc de Triomphe. Then, we tried to walk to my favorite crepe man, in my old neighborhood from my first trip to Paris. Sadly, he was no longer there and had been replaced by a gelateria. We briefly took in the Champs Elysee but were interrupted by rain. We spent the rest of the afternoon in the Musee D'Orsay, which happened to be having free admission which was a nice suprise!
We finished off the day in Montmartre. We went by Moulin Rouge then headed up the hill.
We ate dinner in a little piano bar that I had eaten in several years ago. This place is unique because visitors post mementos on the walls. I looked around for a bit and found my note from the last time I was there :)
