Paris - Day 3

We are having a blast here in Paris. Today, we woke up and left our amazing apartment to grab a "cafe au lait" before taking the metro to the Arc de Triumph. After heading to the top (via elevator) for a view of Paris, we walked down the Champs- Elysee to the Rue le Honore (expensive shopping), passed the American Embassy, to lunch at Cafe Ruc (recommended by our favorite Ina Garten of Barefoot Contessa) where we ate, drank wine, watched people pass by on their way to the Louvre and spoke French to those around us (well C and I tried). We then went to the Louvre for hours (Mona Lisa's eyes really do follow you) before walking to Place de la Concorde, home of the Egyptian oblelisk from Luxor, the oldest manmade structure in Paris (1200 B.C.). We took the metro toward home exhausted and tired.

Au revoir,
