Paris via Eurostar was very easy and smooth! Taking the metro in Paris to get to our hosts’ home was just as easy. We are in a room in a nice apartment home in the 1st arrondissement, the “heart of Paris”. We hit the ground ambling…stopping anywhere that seemed interesting: a few of the many pet stores along the street, then crossing the Pont Neuf bridge over the Seine on the way to dinner at Cosi, recommended by Bev and also April’s friend (yes, the smoked salmon and ricotta sandwich with walnuts was amazing!), then along the Seine to the pyramid at the Louvre, through the gardens and all the way around to the Eiffel tower. Even the intermittent rain could not dampen our spirits! Back on the metro, we rode to the stop at the Arc de Triumph. Boy, you learn about these places in French class, but to see them in person is surreal! Now we are back in our cozy and quaint room, after visiting with our host couple and their 2 cats to recap our adventures. Bon nuit!
