Puttering around Paris

This Paris trip was fun! Here’s how it really began:
I was chatting with Andrew about a month back or so and just casually mentioned that I was heading out here. He said, “wow, Ellen and I are going to be in Paris in May too on (dates here)”.
So I just did the Paris leg at the beginning of my trip instead of at the end. Which makes sence since I’m flying back to CA from LHR instead of CDG, get it?
Now by an incredible coincidence, Meghan is also here in Paris for a couple of weeks, staying with friends. We exchanged emails and phone calls and voila, she’s at the Orsay with me!
But since you can overdo appreciation of art, we ducked out and visited the Eiffel Tower. The weather didn’t get any better so we passed on going up. That goes on my list of “things to do next time I’m in Paris”. However, we walked around a lot and caught up.
We wound up in the Latin Quarter, having coffee at a famous Cafe (Meghan, if you’re reading this, what was that cafe’s name again?) and dinner at a reasonable French chain restaurant. The mussels were good and the main plates were pretty filling.
Then it was time to go home…tired again!
