On the move Day 10 of Vacation

I am starting my blog post today while on the train from Paris to Caen where we will pick up a rental car and begin our Normandy experience. We loved our location in Paris. The Hotel du Jeu de Paume on the ile St. Louis was within walking distance of most everything we wanted to see. We bought a packet of 10 Metro tickets yesterday for our trips around Paris. The Metro is very easy to use and an inexpensive way to get around Paris. The many connection points makes changing lines easy too. Only problem we had was finding an exit yesterday to one of the stations and today figuring out the difference between the Metro stop and the Train station. 

Most of my posts this week have been short because I write after dinner and before bed. And the dinner hour has been getting later and later. The norm in Paris is between 8 PM and 8:30. The hotel was great about getting us reservations which were probably needed for most of the places we ate. The food has been delicious and I did get to eat authentic French escargot. One or two of the restaurants had pigeon on the menu but I decided to save that gastronomic pleasure for another time. My first taste of Foie gras was in Amsterdam and I would have eaten it again in Paris but there were too many other options.  The food delights have been balanced by the walking. Even on a day using the Metro both Steve and I have logged over 5 miles of steps on the Fitbit per day.
