Yesterday afternoon had a great walking tour with Paul Nahem, a displaced New Yorker who lives in the Marais. We saw these great old villas which have been restored and made into government buildings. He took our picture with Notre Dame in the background. We also had some outstanding ice cream (Berthillon); naturally I had to have two scoops! A wonderful dinner at a small restaurant in the Marais--very romantic. This morning we toured the highlights of the Louvre (Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, etc.) and now we're off to walk down the Champs de Elysees. Too bad Vern's bike is packed up--I'm sure he'd ride down the cobbles with no hands!
