Au Revior Paris ! WE have traveled back through the chunnel and returned to England. Our day in Paris today was dryer but it was colder than ever. Thank goodness for that warm hat and gloves I bought. We left the hotel this morning after checking our, slung our back packs on our back (or shoulder) and headed around the corner for the tour bus once again. Today's bus took us to the Louvre where we checked our bags, got something to eat and set out to see the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo among hundreds of other pieces of art. All I could think was how much my son Kent would love to see this collection of art. Maybe some day. . .
After walking the width and length of this massive museum we gathered our belongings, found a cab and headed for the train station to await out 5:30 train back to England. It was an uneventful trip "home" and Kyle and Bridget were waiting up for us to make sure they didn't have to call out the police to start looking for us. WE were very proud of ourselves when we arrived in London and found that the underground line that we needed to take was not running. Rather than run screaming through the station we started to check the map to figure out another route. The panicked look on our faces must have sent up a red flag to a lovely English couple that was also traveling home and they took us under their wing and got us to Paddington Station where we caught our train to Windsor. There sure are nice people out here and we are meeting any number of them.
I'm totally pooped out after our 3 days of travel and am going to call it a night. I think we are going to just hang out here tomorrow so perhaps I can write more then about my thoughts on the French culture. I just bet you can't wait!
