I really thought I would have time to post a few pictures and make a few comments on our daily adventures. Silly me.
Here is a quick rundown on what we have seen/done so far.
Discovered Hotel de Ville
Had our 30th Anniversary Dinner at le Café Marly on the terrace overlooking the courtyard at the Louvre.
Had to visit Paris Harley-Davidson to pick up some shirts.
Paid my respects to Oscar Wilde at Pere Lachaise cemetery. Absolutely beautiful.
Attended mass at Notre Dame. We went on Sunday at 10:00am for the Gregorian Chant Mass, very beautiful and moving.
Found our way to the flea market at Saint Ouen. Definitely get off the main alleys and go deep inside this market for the best selection of stuff you didn't know you needed.
And of course, le Louvre. How can you visit Paris without visiting here. We went on the first Sunday of the month which is free. Yes, it was crowded but manageable. We may go back as there is no way to see this museum in one day.
I may not get too many posts up while I'm here but I am gathering large quantities of good blog stuff for when we get back to the States.
Until next time Bon journée!
Wow! It sounds like you and your bride are having a wonderful trip so far! Some of the things we did in Paris didn't involve an attraction or museum but was just soaking in the Parisian atmosphere and happening to be in the right place at the right time.
ReplyDeleteWe happened upon a special ceremony at the Arc de Triumph with what appeared to be French veterans and French dignitaries. It was really special and completely unplanned.
The Mass at the Notre Dame was exquisite. I learned about it on good old Trip Advisor! Didn't cost anything but was a wonderful experience we'll never forget.
We love Parisian food. Picnics in parks were almost like a gourmet meal. If you haven't yet, try the salted caramel macarons. Yummmm...
There is something magical about Paris... It captures your heart. At least, it did mine.
Really a good write-up. After a few years, couples are like this only. Infact, the charm of the relationship must increases as you share ages with other. I have even got an article for this similar topic, where one can have unique anniversary gift ideas to make this day more special.
