Day 3 - Paris



Went to Sacre Coeur - Kim made me walk up the hill with lots of stairs and only told me later we could have gone up on the cable car!! Great view of all of Paris - but wait - there's more - more steps up to church - all you Catholics will love to know that we listened very carefully to the service going on but unfortunately Sharon didn't understand a thing so she sang her own tune!

The highlight of the morning - artists extraordinaire drew our pictures - fortunately they drew some really young-looking hot chicks that must have been over our shoulders - tell us the truth when you see them!!!

Then to Louvre to see Mona and Venus and a few other rock-hard dead people. Had enough of wandering the many corridors of the Louvre wondering what was going on in their heads when they drew some of those pictures - do not judge us - we had walked 57 flights of stairs by now (Sharon keeps reminding me!)

Took a romantic cruise with 87 schoolkids down the Seine (not a happy camper!!) - straight off the boat into a bus for an illuminating tour of Paris by night. That was amazing. (and you wonder why Sharon falls asleep with her clothes on!)
