Paris France Friday May 7 2010

Today we went to MontMartre. It was like being in a Parisian Soho. I loved it. Especially the windmill. Who knew I'd see windmills in Paris. We toured Sacre Coeur but could not climb to the top as the machine that took the tickets was broken and the poor man could not get it to work. So that is a great reason to have to return to Paris. We bought a baguette sandwich and a bottle of wine and sat across from a park and ate our lunch. We later found out where we sat is a very photographed area and we saw many postcards with that picture. Then we did a walking tour of Marsai. An interesting area of Paris where Victor Hugo hung out. Much more reserved than where Picasso hung out in MontMartre. For dinner we went to Le Violo d'ingres, a new wave Paris restaurant. The food was incredible. We then walked to the Eiffel tower and saw the city all lit up. Every hour the eiffel tower lights all twinkle. So beautiful. The view from Trocadero circle is very fine indeed.
