Paris, France ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Well, we did a solid Paris today and now Alex never has to come back to this swamp because he has seen it all!   

It has been hot, and the French don't believe in AC.  They don't have it in old buildings or new buildings,  not on their subways, hotels or restaurants. It was 98 degrees today! AC is a luxury we are certainly missing and will most definitely appreciate when we go home.  ...one other notable mention,  a bottle of water is $6. Just 2 cents for the memory banks. ๐Ÿ˜…

BUT...we had a great day....

Today we did the Louvre Museum...

This is the largest painting in the museum... it's a depiction of The Last Supper. 

AND we saw the Mona Lisa!!!!

...and we also saw The Broken Pitcure....funny how the original is round and not rectangular. .  This, if you recall, hung in Dads house for years and years.  

Next we did The Palace of Versailles.   OMG I've never seen anything like it...stunning, overwhelming,  massive and just...wow...

And our flight to Iceland was canceled,  so we fly out in the morning.   Meanwhile,  we are at the airport Hilton ...a little USA away from home.

Alex comment of the day... today was an eye opener. 

My thoughts...I'm so excited to be back in the US where tap water is free, bathrooms are free, and where we have AC.  

And....last night in our sleep sacks ๐Ÿคž
