We had a great day, despite another morning of drizzle. A nice breakfast including an omelet and croissants, then a metro ride to Montmartre where we went to the Musee d'Art Naif - a totally different experience than the Louvre yesterday. It was small and intimate and we had almost the entire museum to ourselves for a few hours. Saw a great show by Marie Morel who we will look into further. We were so taken with her work. We had an inexpensive Thai lunch before leaving the nighborhood and then took Metro to Champs Elysees to see L'Arc de Triomphe. By then the sun was out, so after snapping pictures and taking in the spectacle of thousands of tourists from all over the world and many roads with many lanes of traffic converging, we walked down to Tour Eiffel. At that point, the skies clouded over again, but it didn't rain. We did our best to avoid the trinket sellers and con artists, and enjoyed a man feeding pigeons. Back at the hotel right now resting up before dinner. We are loving this city and finding it very manageable. My French is improving!
