A Stroll Around Paris

We're on the move today, but not that far.  Paris is divided in half by the winding Seine River.  We have been staying north of the river, so today we move to another AirBnB that is to the south.  It will be an easy move, two subways and 15 minutes and we will be there.

We woke up to rain yesterday so we waited until 2:00 to go out wandering.  We took the subway into a new area and then began walking.  When our feet got tired we hopped on a bus and saw more of the city.  Next we walked the banks of the Seine River for a  few miles.

How very European of us?

Next we hopped on a tour bus and went toward the theatre district in the northwest corner of the city.  It is very colorful and we could recognize some scenes from movies.  Terri wanted to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe, so we found it and had a great dinner.

Today was a more relaxing day for us.  The 5.5 miles was done as a stroll and the walk along the river involved alot of bench sitting and people watching.

Walking under a bridge on the Seine with Notre Dame in the distance.

For a cool grey day it was more like being in the Pacific Northwest.  We are definitely looking forward to some sun and warmth as we go to Italy later this week.

I  liked this sign in front of a biscuit shop.

Life is good.  We will see how many steps up the next Bed and Breakfast will be.  Will it break the 100 mark?  I'll let you know.

NOTE from Russ:  We arrived, we climbed, we counted, we took a nap..... 104 steps.
