Wow, I have not been having good luck getting this entry posted. First I couldn't post due to a location, then I lost all of the pictures I picked out for uploading and now my original text for this blog post is gone. Ugh. Oh well, moving on to the original topic at hand, that is, Days 13 & 14...
The weather here has been gorgeous. 30°C and sunny every day. And it's supposed to stay that way until we leave. Fabulous!
On Thursday, we walked over to the Jardin du Luxembourg, which was full of beautiful green space. We walked around a bit, sat by a lovely pond and then walked to Notre Dame. Notre Dame is a lovely church, but after Westminister Abbey, just not quite as good. Still it was quite a sight to see.
We then walked to the Avenue des Champs-Élysées, a "prestigious" shopping area (Prada, Dior, 3 Chanel shops, Louis Vuitton) and actually on the Champs-Élysées, Adidas, Sephora, a Virgin Megastore, etc. We only went in Sephora, as I wanted to pick up a new powder since I was out. The size of the store was something else, I've never seen one
so big! Unfortunately, that also meant a reaction of some kind (allergic you'd think, but I'm not sure) so I had to leave in a hurry. Feeling sick, we walked back to the hotel as I didn't want to be sick on the subway.
Friday, we went to the Musee d'Orsay, where we couldn't take pictures. There was a lot of artwork there which was quite good to see. Later on, we walked over to the Eiffel Tower, but decided not to head up. The Tower glitters at night, what an amazing thing to see. We plan on taking the trip up the tower tomorrow. We took it easy overall, as I was still feeling ill.
