Day 28- Paris

The second day in Paris we were up early and on the bus for a little panoramic tour of the city. Unfortunately we are so used to hopping on a bus and sleeping that it was a bit difficult to stay awake. We managed and got to see the location of Marie Antoniettes imprisonment, the hotel and church of invalides which was where Napoleons injuried soldiers stayed after battle, the Pantheon which is where Voltaire, Madam Curie and several authors are buried, and countless museums. We took more photos enjoyed some hot chocolate before being dropped off at Trocadero Square across from the Eiffel Tower. After a few more pictures we split up from the rest of the group and headed on our own little walking tour of Paris. We took off towards the Arch of Triumph which Napoleon had built in honor of his war vicories. Now there is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and an eternal flame that burns beneath the arch. We then made our way down the river towards Notre Dame. There was no hunchback, but the church was beautiful. After that we crossed the street and headed to the Latin Quarter which is a little souvenier and resturant area and ended up grabbing a crepe and panini and continued on our walk. After a few more hours of window shopping we made our way to the hotel to rest a bit before we showered, got ourselves ready, and headed out in full dress attire to a Can-Can show. The show was in Montemarte area and near the Moulin Rouge which we took several pictures in front of. Before the show started we grabbed a chicken, tomato, and mozzarella panini and a chocolate, banana crepe. It was delicious however we made quite the mess of ourselves and completely killed the "lady like" look we were going for. Novelle Eve was the name of the show we saw and the dresses and dances were phenomenal and Cindy and I picked up a few moves. AFter the show we headed back through the Moulin Rouge area also known as the "Red light distict of Paris". On our way back to the hotel we stopped into a bar for a quick drink and mingled with the French. Not to much later we walked home witnessed a car go down a one way in reverse for 2 blocks before turning around and continued to crack up about it until we went to bed a bit later. We also had a run in with Pepe La Pew (the man that worked the front desk) who does not like speaking if it is not in French and is not okay with giggling.
