our day on the Right Side

---

after a short nap, we went out for a dinner and found a nice little restaurant near our hotel then walked along the Seine before retiring. 4 hours later I woke up, so I went out and took some long exposures around Notre Dame which are attached. this morning we slept in and then went off to explore the Knights and Horses Stroll which showed us interesting statues from our hotel to Place de la Concorde . . . we found our way through the Louvre (where we visited the Apple store) and all over the Jardin de Tuileries and some side trips to see about tickets to Norah Jones tonight (sold out) but found that tomorrow night at Elise de la Madelaine there will be a performance of Mozart's Requiem, which we plan on attending. what we thought was going to be a simple exercise - buying a mobile phone - turned out to be the search of the century but we found a Vodafone store (SFR) and now have one. on the way home we stopped for a Stella and frites and soon my cousin Martha will be here to visit and go to dinner with us. Great Great day in Paris . . . and did I mention the weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky and a little breeze.
