Lori headed off very early for her cooking school. She will be adding to the blog to tell about her day. I slept until late then decided to do one of the Paris walks. It was not raining (first day since we got here).
I walked over to the Eiffel Tower which had these huge lines that wrapped around and around and around. Glad I was not in them. Ugh. I walked over to the Trocadero and took some picture of the Eiffel Tower and the crowds. Then I walked, walked and walked. I found a Saturday market. The Parisians take their markets really serious. I did not pull out my camera - too many people and too much going on.
I then passed the memorial to Princess Diana (near where she was killed). Then I walked back to the apt where I met my little French teacher. When we were half way thru our lesson, Lori came back.
After our lesson, we went for dinner in a little Greek place on the Rue Cler. Then we braved the madness of the supermarche for some staples. We made it an early night - Versailles tomorrow!

We're enjoying the updates and reliving our visits to Paris through your descriptions. Remember the hot chocolate in the cafe across from the Notre Dame, then you and Doug went to see the Eiffel tower--without the long lines? Of course, it was January and Paris was less busy.
I checked the five day forecast for Paris on the BBC website, and temps. should be in the mid to high 60's, partly cloudy skies, with some showers on Wed. So you should be able to stay warmer and drier.
Have fun, and keep the stories coming.
Love, Patricia
Hi Lori and Elle,
Sounds like you two are having fun. I guess it is raining in Longview, but snowed Friday here in Klamath Falls. It's clearing up today and will get to about 60* this afternoon. Lori, I hope to get back up to Longview sometime in mid to late October. And I will be in town afew days before Thanksgiving.
Randy
