It is the end of our third day in Paris. Yesterday (Wednesday, I think) was spend running around. Literally. We saw almost all of the major sights and sounds of this fine city. After our crazy day of running around playing tourist, we got ready for a great dinner on the town. We ate at a local favorite which was amazing. After a bottle of wine we were feeling great and wanted to see the Eiffel tower at night....It was not that easy. Its a long story but our jovial jaunt turned into a frustrating fiasco. We were stopped by the metro police and fined 20euro for not having our old tickets. On top of all of this, all the metro lines were closed or closing. Needless to say, we skipped the tower.
Today, we walked around the Latin Quarters and Ste Germaine district. After a short nap on the comfy cobblestone across the river from Notre Dame, we decided to see the outer edge of the city. We attempted to see some big park on the east crest of the city limits, but instead we watched old French men play Boule for a couple hours. It was awesome. We picked up some good eats on our walk to Shakespeare and CO. (The much frequented bookstore of Hemingway). It was an amazing bookstore on top of the Hemingway factor. Books in every possible corner. Tonight we attempt to see the Eiffel tower again. Wish us luck. Once the haze clears for me, I'll fill in more details.
