Paris

We had a good flight over and met the Beckers at the Charles de Gaulle airport and took the shuttle to our hotel. We met Reistads there and walked about 5 miles around the 11th District (where we are staying) and the 3rd District nearby. On Friday we took the Metro and train to Giverny (Monets garden). Saturday we went with Reistads to Versailles and came back to meet up with our Rick Steves tour at 5. We ate dinner together that night. Yesterday our group went to Sainte Chappelle (beautiful stained glass), Paris underground museum and Notre Dame. We ate lunch in the Latin Quarter and then went to the Orsay Museum and barely Orangerie (Monet) Museum, and Place de Concorde. Today we are off to the Louvre and on our own. Had some rain. Curt is holding up as well as the rest of us ( we all get tired). Gotta go now.
