First 2 Days in Paris

We arrived yesterday morning and managed to have a long day despite the jet lag.  Our apartment is in le Marais in the 4th arrondissement and we have all of 360 square feet (although it feels like about 100) to live in for the next week.  Here's a photo of the outside.  We're the highest window in the center.

In the afternoon, we headed over to Sainte-Chapelle (gothic cathedral with amazing stained glass windows) and then visited Notre-Dame.  We climbed all 400 steps to the top and hung out with the gargoyles.  The detail of Notre-Dame was very impressive.

Miles walked: 7.25

This morning we went to a local market and picked up a whole chicken and potatoes for dinner tonight...and stopped to get a pain au chocolat at a bakery for breakfast.  Yum!  The rest of our day was busy with visiting the Louvre, Jardin des Tuileries, Avenue des Champs-Elysees and the Arc de Triomphe. 

Miles walked: 10

 

 

We're both pretty tired...especially after walking all day and drinking 2 bottles of wine for dinner. :) Oh, and despite our distance, LeederD managed to keep up with the Pack tonight.  (Dear Jodie... your ViQueens didn't look so good today...Favre with 2 TO's.  ViQueens may be in for a beating next week, Pack has won by a combined total of 57-3 the last 2 weeks...).

Bonne nuit et bisous.
