She’s a pretty cool customer, Paris. There’s soooo much to do and soooo many people doing things and soooo many boulangeries and patisseries. Soooo amazing to be a part of it! We kind of did a “greatest hits” of Paris this time around. I purchased tickets before we left home for a few things, having learned a little something from last time we were here.
Starting with the Eiffel Tower. (It happened to be a super rainy day. Although that meant our views weren’t spectacular, I think it cut down on the crowds a teeny bit. And insured that we left the apartment at all instead of cozying up when the city was waiting for us. And let us buy a souvenir umbrella!)
We also visited the Louvre.
And the Catacombs.
And Musee d’Orsay, the Rodin museum, and Montmartre.
Whew! Somehow we also had a bit of energy left to just experience the city and, you know, eat croissants.
It can be a tad overwhelming and feel a bit frenetic after awhile for us small-town folk. (Plus our budget is near laughable here.) And we struggled with a bit of the grumps after a train strike disrupted our exit plans.
But — I mean! — Paris! We totally know this was the second of (what is for many) a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Because Paris: oo la la!
Magrilless 
I hope you are going to get to see at least one stage of the Tour de France while you are there. It is more fun than you think it would be, there is a huge parade that comes before the riders, the crowd is fun to be part of, and to see the racers in person is so different than on TV. Either a hill climb or a feed zone are good places to watch (besides a bar with the locals on a different day). It’s a big part of the culture there. Happy travels! T
Now when you get home you can watch Midnight in Paris and recognize everything.
I’m glad you are having fun! Keep up the STUPENDOUS work! 😁 (Also, Maggie or Tessa, if you are reading this, me and Skyler watched the last episode of the show “The Good Place” last night, and there was a picture in this post of the Montmartre that they showed in “The Good Place” (not going to spoil anything for those who haven’t watched it) and I just thought it was funny because I had never seen that and I just saw it twice in less than 24 hours. Okay, that was super random but I just had to say it. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!)
(And I agree with the comment about the Tour de France, we have been watching it at home, and if you haven’t already left, you should go try to see it!)
