Lundi le 19 juillet

Bonjour! We got up at 6 am this morning to make our way back to Paris. Our bus
brought us smoothly and safely to the Novotel on the outskirts of Paris. Most of us slept on the journey!
Once here, we put our bags in our rooms and then took the metro to the Louvre. It was crowded, but we saw the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace (carved by the Greeks) and le VĂ©nus de Milo ( also carved by the Greeks). After that, we wandered through gallery after gallery.
At a pre-arranged time we met to take the metro to dinner. We ate Alsatian pizza. It was a light meal and early for us ( 5 pm) because we had a date with the Iron Lady. A private coach took us to the Eiffel Tower. It also was crowded and busy. We had group reservations to go up to the top and then take a Seine boat ride. It's a beautiful warm summer evening - perfect for picture taking. This celebrates our last night in Paris.
Tomorrow - very early - we board the train to London. Au revoir la France!
