Paris Day 3

Great day- we slept late and the rest of the day was as easygoing and relaxing a parisian vacation as possible. First, we bought some lovely baguette and cheese sandwiches, chocolate ganache and relaxed in this park with a well dressed parisian guitar player and a gothic church in the background.
Next, we went on a four hour bike tour of Paris with Fat Tire Bike tours. We loved it so much that we might do the one in Barcelona. Four hours on a bike sounds like a lot, but actually, it was quite casual. We meandered on "beach cruisers" and stopped every tenth of a mile for a history lesson from our texas tourguide Ziggy.

This is a shot of him leading us through the Toullerie Gardens in front of the Louvre. This was after we sat and ate at a cafe in the gardens for an hour. Jon and I loved chatting with the aussies in our group. One was teaching in London for a few years.

Our evening ended with a picnic on the Champ du Mars as we watched the eiffel tower sparkle. There is a sparkling light show for 10 minutes every hour from 9-12pm. How romantic can it get!
