Anyway great times, I went out again all day with my new German friends Olaf and Inga, they are awesome and Inga had lots of huge plans for the day and that was awesome so I went along with their plans and it was great.
We started at the Arc de Triumph and then headed to the Obelisk and saw the Eiffel Tower from a far. Then we went to some parliament buildings and then to a fancy food place to buy chocolate and look around. Then we took the subway again to a great place for coffee and had a picnic in a beautiful park in the Marais and had some freshly made bagettes with a huge piece of Brie, and my friend had an Oringina and I had a Schweppes Lemon drink which was also good. Then we got a Cafe Au Lait later on and then walked more to Notre Dame. Then we spent 30 min trying to find a toilette in what we think was a very old hospital that is still functioning. Then we went to the jail where Marie Antionette was held prisoner and then executed which was nuts. That was a great day!! Oh yes, also we got some "Ice"... by that Inga meant "Sorbet"... i.e. Ice Cream but without the Cream!! It was awesome and we sat on the steps on the River Seine, overlooking old Ile-de-Paris... just taking it all in. What a fantastic day... again!!
Oh yeah, note that my typing this time isn't filled with 3000 typing mistakes. They told me here how to change the keyboard preferences so I have a USA Anglais (English) Keyboard rather than the French one which is nuts (see photo of keyboard!)
Ok onto the photos!!
Cool sign, not sure what it is for, but something to do with cinema and animation!! It was on Reynaud's house maybe?
