Mercredi evening greetings! Richard and I have had a delightful day here in Paris. We slept quite well, me 'til 8 and him 'til 9, and had a nice breakfast in the hotel's cave-like basement. We boarded the red on/off tour bus at the Musee d'Orsay at 11am and rode until it reached the Louvre. Got off there and walked back to our hotel for a "rest stop" and a nap for Richard. Then, we went around the corner to Cafe Voltaire for lunch at a sidewalk table before walking back to the Louvre to pick up the red bus. Rode the tour to the Grand Palais and got off to walk to the Rodin Museum, which our guidebook said is open until 8:30pm on Wednesdays. Well, the book was wrong and the museum had closed by the time we got there. So, we regrouped and window-shopped through 7e until we reached a shop whose sandwiches, salads, and pastries appealed to us. We bought a tuna baguette, a carrot salad, and a tarte framboise to share for dinner and brought it back to our hotel. We are in for the night to use the lay-of-the-land we acquired today to plan our next 3 days.
