Day 33 - Blogabond

This morning was Marks choice so off he and I went to see the rest of the Army Museum (Mark was sure we didn’t see everything during our first visit). Suzy bailed on us and did a little shopping in the boutiques of Paris. Mark and I saw lots more armor, swords, guns, cannons, tanks….every weapon you could think of up to World War II. Mark was in heaven.

We met Suzy a little before noon. She had several full shopping bags and had worked up an appetite. We all decided a picnic was in order so we set off for the Rue Cler to stock up on baguettes, cheese, pate, fruit and a little wine. This is a great little walking street near the Eifel Tower that has one of the best open markets in the city. Once we had stocked up we walked a few blocks west to the Champ de Mars Park for a picnic right in front of the Eifel Tower.

We took the rest of the afternoon pretty easy, simply walking around and doing a little exploring. For our last dinner in Paris we went to a great little neighborhood restaurant about 2 blocks from the Orsay. It was one of the best meals we had in Paris. The cheese ravioli was unbelievable! What a way to end our trip.
