Sent: Jan 11, 2010 5:32 PM Paris was a very interesting place but I would not like to live there. We had a nice hotel room, newly remodeled, new bathroom fixtures. The wallsof the bedroom were 'carpeted' for extra soundproofing. We saw Notre Dame church near the hotel. Went to the top of the Eifel Tower, got some great pictures, what a view of the big city! Took the boat trip down the Seine, past the castles onthe banks. Spent two days exploring the Louvre, saw and made pictures of the real Mona Lisa painting. One could spend a lot of time there, so much to see. We walked down the main street by the fashion shops and classy offerings. I had the nerve to go in one of them and ask the price of a leather purse in the window. It was beautiful and only $1200.00 .. We spent a day going o the Royal Palace at Versailles. That is where the famous Hall of Mirrors is located and where I had the meeting with the "stinking ghost". We had many choices of restaurants and of foods. One day we were inthe Arch de Triumph. They had a small lunch counter on the 5th floor. Chicken soup sounded good. The menu read chicken soup with 'legumes.' Well, it was not much but yellow water with a sliver of celery and an even smaller sliver of carrot and three little green peas floating around. If a chicken came near that soup it must have just walked by the stove while the water was boiling, no closer.
