Paris

Arrived in Paris today after spending yesterday at Disneyland.

Got to the Louvre this afternoon and saw the Mona Lisa in the flesh so to speak.  Such a massive collection that we saw maybe 1/8th at best, but great to see, and the building it's housed in (former palace) was just perfect, with it's high rooves and ceiling fresco's.

Tonight we're in a tiny apartment in the heart of town.  Tomorrow we transfer to a hotel.  The area we're in seems to be a Japanese version of China town.  So dinner wise it was tough to find somewhere serving French food - everything is Asian, mainly Japanese.  But with persistence and a few helpful people we found a lovely little local restaurant.  Really nice.

Tomorrow, Eiffel Tower.
