Paris - A Second Day

It's a gray last day in France.  The forecast is for rain and thundershowers all day. It doesn't turn out as bad as predicted but rains off and on enough to make a mess of touring and walking. We walk in light rain in search of lunch.  Our intended restaurant is not a restaurant but one of the many take-out places serving the students of the Sorbonne.

We return to a loud greeting of "Welcome Back" to the restaurant of yesterday's lunch. In the afternoon we prepare for the return trip.

On the return, CJ photographs the Roman amphitheater adjacent to our hotel. This is the view from inside the hotel; the same one we had in 2006.

 

 We suppose this is the entrance of the gladiators or the lions or the props.

Our room has one wall against the stone structure on the right.  The window on the 3rd floor is our room.

For dinner we have an evening with  friends we haven't seen since 2006. We have dinner with Clarisse and her daughter, Blanche and are joined for desert by husband, Georges. It's fun rekindling the relationship. We return to the hotel by 11 pm.

Tomorrow, we return to the US after 53 days on the Continent.
