Amy: Just a quick update. We spent yesterday touring the Notre Dame and the Louvre Museum. It was a cloudy and cool day but it did not rain. The Louvre was amazing, not just because of the amazing works of art but the building itself is a work of art. We saw the Mona Lisa and other famous works of art.
We have been riding our bikes back and forth into the ciy and think we have our way figured out. The traffic yesterday was crazy, I wonder if everyone drives on Friday because they go out after work. Regardless, it is 6:25 pm in Paris right now, less then 3 hours until the big World Cup of Rugby final. We went to the Eiffel Tower today to see what was happening at it appears all the English fans are gathering. I noted that their beer of choice seems to be Heineken. I am sure it will get quite crazy there later. It might have been fun to stick around but we couldn't ride our bikes back in the dark. We have scouted out a pub near our campground that we will go watch the game, if we can get it.
Today it was clear but cool so we started off into Paris after lunch. We went to the Luxembourg Gardens in addition to the Eiffel Tower. We finally found a McDonalds in Paris that has free Wifi so we stopped to upload some pictures and do a quick update. Patti just reminded me about the quick part so that is it for now.
