Tour day

Yesterday was the last day to use our three-day pass, so we did the tour bus thing. We had a hell of a time finding the starting point, mainly because I took the wrong turn. It seems as though every intersection has at least six streets radiating from it, so it is easy to miss your street. We decided not to go into the Louvre ... that is a trip on its own. I was blown away by the scale of the place.






We spent a bit of time in the Musee D'Orsay, which has a lot of Van Goghs, but is under renovation so the exhibits are very limited. There was a lovely sculpture of the young Aristotle ... what a cutie.




We had dinner in the little bistro across the street where the locals hang out. The food was great, the servers were lovely, and we met a German guy who lives in Hong Kong. A great day.
