It's my last full day in Paris, and after seeing the Eiffel tower last night all lit up, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do today. I ended up consulting my handy-dandy Paris guidebook, and decided I'd visit the rest of the top 10 sites in Paris. This required a fair amount of metro planning prep work, but it was worth it.
I took the metro to the Champs-Elyse, and basically walked along the river, with little detours to get shots of the 7 sites I hadn't seen. The most unique was the Pompodore (?) center. It basically looks like a big series of pipes from the outside. Another high-light was touring inside Notre Dame. Sad to say, I didn't see any hunchbacks...
Also of importance, I got the last of my gifts for people back home. This was actually quite a stressful process, so it's nice to have completed it.
Oh, and I ate at this amazing little Thai place near the Patheon. Probably my favorite meal in Paris.
Anyway, think I'll go out once more tonight to the Eiffel tower and walk to the Champs d'Elyse. Call me a sucker for lights and beauty ;-) Heading back to Canada tomorrow...not looking forward to the 8+ hour flight to Toronto, and 1 hour hop to Ottawa. Looking forward to seeing everyone again though...and getting a good night's sleep in my own bed.
