Day 1 - Paris

Finally I am able to get internet access to post some photos and stories.
Paris was absolutely fabulous. The weather was hot and sunny, the average temperature is 25 degrees and one day it was 28. It's like summer. Wonderful!

The first day we walked to the Arc d Triumph ,then took the subway to Mont Martre area to visit the famous Sacre Cour Basilica.
That evening we all had dinner together as a group at the George V restaurant around the corner from our hotel. The Meridien Ecoile is very comfortable and easy walking distance to the Metro and RER rail system. Paris is an easy city to maneuvre on foot or public transport.
This evening some of us walked to the Eiffel tower and others took a taxi. We enjoyed an evening cruise along the Seine river to view the city of lights,. The Eiffel tower looks magnificent all lit up.

Day 2 - Paris
We start our day with a 4 hour guided bus tour of Paris to view the main sites. Our guide was very informative and very friendly. Notre Dame Cathedral was ahighlight and we were given some free time to explore inside the cathedral and to visit some of the surrounding shops.
The shopping begins!
After the tour the ladies split up into smaller groups. Everyone had a metro pass and most had the museum pass. Some of the things the ladies did were: explored the Champs Elysee, visited the Toulerie Gardens, the Luuvre Museum, D'Orsay museum, went to the top of Eiffel tower and esxplored the shops. Some rested to get over their jet lag. That evening some of the women took in dinner and show or just the show at the Moulin Rouge. They loved it. Others found a local restaurant and enjoyed a leisurely dinner on the outdoor patio. Can you imagine witting outside till 1030 at night in April. Spring time in Paris is glorious.
