I haven't slept as well in Paris as I did in Provence, though Marie says it was noisier there than here. No matter. We're up and beginning to think about getting ready for our day. We made our plans last night for the next three days. Today is Montmarte and some sight seeing - L'Arc de Triomphe and Eiffel Tour before heading back to the 5th for a nap and then dinner. Today is our "learn how the Metro works" day. Everything else we want to do is really within walking distance and we see so much of the city walking that it is our preferred method of transportation.
Last night we had Mexican food in Paris. It was a really cute restaurant, just a few tables, and the food was great - even if my chimichanga was open-faced rather than wrapped! Marie had a Tamal Azteca, which I didn't recognize, until I had a bite, as a tamale - and delicious. There was another anomaly - ratatouille on my plate, which I'm pretty sure is not a Mexican dish, but that too was yummy. She had some guacamole on hers, which she said was garlicky and terrific.
Weather started out rainy yesterday, but by the time we left the Louvre, the streets were drying and blue sky was sneaking out between clouds. We woke to rain again this morning but it has stopped now. We'll take rain jackets and umbrellas and be prepared for whatever comes today.
