LAST DAY IN PARIS - IS THAT SUNSHINE?

We woke up to a bright SUNNY day.

Second one on the 3 week trip.

SO - we HAD to plan another walking tour. A quick Metro ride took us to Jardin du Luxembourg. And we enjoyed walking through the admittedly winter gardens - for a short while before it clouded up and started to sprinkle.







So, ONE MORE TIME, a change in plans took us to Les Invalides.



It's a fascinating HUGE museum with lots of military uniforms, weapons and Napoleon's favorite horse, a little the worse for the wear.



And Napoleon's tomb



It's obvious that I'm VERY tardy in blogging our Christmas trip. So here are some pictures of Paris that I can't attribute to any specific day. But we took them -



and WE WERE THERE -


Views from our flat, with the Eiffel Tower in the distance











We had an uneventful train ride - if you describe 180 mph as uneventful - back to London.

A day of rest and then a LONG day getting home.

In spite of Carol's concerns, the house was standing and the cat was alive and healthy. It was a good time for all.

LIFE IS SO GOOD !
