Well today was a little less hectic. We tried to figure out how to get out to Versailles but we couldn't do it. It wasn't until last night we figured out that we could have taken the metro. Darn but it's just something for the next trip to look forward to. We knew coming into this that we would not be able to see everything.
We found an aquaduct that ran for quite a ways and walked along the top of it yesterday. They have planted beautiful gardens along it and it was wonderful to enjoy and eat our lunch there. Yesterday also was a great nap day. During the afternoon I took a 2 hour nap. It was heaven. Then we had dinner across the street from our hotel. I am loving the salads here. So much flavor. Then we were picked up last night by Nicolas our driver to drive us to the Eiffle tower and take a cruise boat down and back again for an hour. It was beautiful to see the lights around Paris along the Seine River. The Eiffle tower is normally all lit up with off white lights but because we were in town this weekend for the Rugby World Cup they had changed the color of the lower half to green for the Irish that were in town. France won by the way 20-3. The celebrations around here were intense. Rugby is so interesting to watch on TV. Looks like a combo between our football and soccer.
Then Nicolas drove us around the city and explained more about the sights and their history. By this time it's about midnight and no traffic, it was great. The lights are beautiful. There is so much richness here. We also saw the hugh church and building where Napolean is buried. Didn't have time to go in but he is held in great esteem here.
Today we are on the train to Geneva Switzerland. Can't wait. Miss you all loads. Lots of love from all of us to all of you.
