Days 2-3: More Art Than You Can Shake a Stick At
Still here in the outskirts of Paris. On Monday we went to the Louvre, which was absolutely fantastic, the Picasso museum, and the Arc de Triomphe. I walked up the stairs to the top of the Arc - it’s really nice up there, you can see all around Paris.
Yesterday we didn’t go into Paris because of the labor strikes, so me, my brother, and his wife went to the local mall at Val d’Europe, which had an aquarium. I took videos of the fish swimming. The downtime also allowed me to plan some more stuff for the next two weeks, which is good.
Brian: I did run into some gypsies here. Young girls come up to you and ask, “Do you speak English?” and when you say yes, they show you a small index card that has a message on it asking for money. I was like, “No, Brian said for me to beware of you,” and then I walked away. Seems to be working so far.
Gotta run. It’s morning and we need to leave for the train station…
I’m glad I could help.
