Paris - Day 2

Still a little jet lagged, we slept in a little to try to clear away some of the leftover cobwebs. We decided to check out the Musee d'Orsay which we were told would suit our tastes a little more than the Louvre. We showed up around 11:30 and found a pretty long line.

We took a walk down the block to pick up some food to eat while we were in line. While eating somesandwichess from a nearby cafe, we started chatting with the girl that was in line in front of us. She wasoriginallyy from New Zeleand but was currently living inSwedenn and was taking some holiday time in Paris. Apparently, when people say they are "backpacking through Europe," they mean that they are moving there to live for a couple of years... Who knew?

The Orsay was great but by the time we made it to the top level where the Van Goghs and the Monets were located, we were pretty tired. After checking out the greatimpressionistt pieces they had, we headed back for a quick rest before Julie got home from work.

That afternoon we headed over to the Eiffel Tower to take some pictures and get a better look of the city from a different point of view; 115m above ground.

Seing the tower at dusk was great as they light it as well as every hour it begins to sparkle.

We decided to take a long walk along the river that night. It was great to see Paris all lit up and alive.
