Sunday in Paris day 8 of vacation

After a continental breakfast in our hotel, we struck out for another day in Paris. We took the "Big Bus" around the city. Weather was great - sunny and in the low 70s. A great way to take in the sights - all in about a 2-hour bus ride. It was open air, so we had a great view. The Eiffel Tower, the Champs De Élysées,  the Arc de Triomphe, and the National Opera house were just a few of the sights.   Had a piece of quiche and a bottle of Chardonnay for a late lunch. Sat next to a couple from Dallas who loathe Jerry Jones. Then went to the D'Orsay museum for an infusion of some more culture.  It was the old train station remade into a beautiful museum.  Plenty of Monets, Manets, and Van Goghs there.   Made it back to our hotel for happy hour, and then a late dinner. Happy Mother's Day!  

On the tour bus with ear phones to guide us through the city. 

Of course the most famous Paris monument.
