Yesterday, we spent the day taking in a less visited museum, Carnavalet (great history and artifacts from maninly the 1st revolution in France), the Victor Hugo house and museum and then along the great sites near the Seine. What a small world, as we walked along a voice called out "Wayne". It was my niece Janet, her husband and daughter who had come to Paris unbeknownst to us after a river cruise. After some exchange of travel stories, Miriam and I proceeded to visit Notre Dame,the underside of the Louvre, the Tuileries Garden, Rue Cler for dinner and the Eiffel Tower at nite. The lights of the Tower are now blinking like a christmas tree. Dozens of vendors now surround the area attempting to sell small replicas of the tower and small windup birds. Difficult to tell how they can make a living as there are well over a hundred of them selling the same things. Now its time to pack and get ready to fly home. Great trip but nice to think of sleeping in our own bed again.
