(Still working on the pictures issue)
And yes, she had a croissant in Paris.
After breakfast, we took an Uber into town proper to catch the Big Bus.
Our Big Bus Tour was scheduled for today and the forecast called for rain all day. Fortunately, it appears that French meteorologists are just as bad as their American counterparts. We had sun for most of the day.
The Redline of the Big Bus took us to every point of interest: Arc de Triomph, Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Champs Elysées, Notre Dame... And Notre Dame was the favorite stop, by far. Part of it was because of the fire 2 weeks ago. But the main reason was because at this stop we were greeted by rows upon rows of souvenir shops.
We followed Mom around from shop to shop. And I must admit spanglofrench haggling was on point!
On the second go-round (it was a hop on-off bus) Mom couldn't believe there were people in top of the Arc de Triomph. We next stopped at the Eiffel Tower for daytime pictures. This is when Mom told me that I must have taken her to the wrong side of the tower the night before because it looked much bigger than at night.
After all that sightseeing, we stopped for a very late lunch. I can't even remember all that we ate, but Mom pronounced the wine "very good." She also didn't want to order anything, so we ordered stuff we knew she'd like and asked for an extra plate. Oh, and she definitely ate. A lot! 😁
Through all the sightseeing, I was wondering what had impressed her the most. Until I hear her ask, "Do they even sell high heels in Paris?"
She's got her priorities set in stone!
Oh, and it did rain. Late in the afternoon when we were already heading to the hotel. Perfect timing
