Hi all--we went on a Seine river dinner cruise last night--you can see the Eiffel Tower lit up as well as a view of all the beautiful historical buildings along the banks. Really fun--our last night of the Tauck tour. This morning we had a small group tour of Giverny (Monet's home and gardens), which is about an hour northwest of Paris. The gardens are unbelievable (if you're familiar with Monet's "Water Lilies" you'll recognize the photo I took); his house is very cool as well. We finally found out what Vern was named after--a town about 4K from Giverny. The way his name is pronounced in French makes him sound much more sophisticated than he is--"Vayr Nohn"--so now he's just answering to that. I think it's the beret and scarf he bought in Paris.....
