Easy Day

We have been moving pretty fast and hard since we landed in Europe. It was finally time for an easy day. We decided to start by sleeping in late. To the shock of us all, we did not wake up until 11:00 AM. (We completely missed breakfast.) After a few hour trip to the Eiffel Tower and clothes washing, the day was done. We needed the easier schedule as we get ready for the next part of the trip.
An accidental discovery occured during the easy day, we went to some of the much less touristy areas of Paris. Paris is wonderful. You can walk down side streets and see bakeries, shops, and people going about thier daily routines.
Off the tourist path, you need to attempt to speak some French. It is surprising how quickly you begin to learn the language. Of all the places we have been, this is the first that made me think, "It might be nice to spend a summer in Paris".
Just a few days is not nearly enough to fully appriciate what this city has to offer. With an entire summer, you could learn the language and explore so much more than we have had time to explore.
BTW: We did get a travel clock today to prevent another 11:00 AM sleep in.
