29 September 2013 Last Bus Tour Day in Paris


SUNDAY 29 SEPT 2013

Today we had a full day to explore the city of fashion, art, museums, food and joie de vivre.  We see La Sorbonne, Arc de Triomphe, Madeleine, the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramid near the Louvre, the Invalides, the Champs Elysees. 
 Notre Dame





























 I think this is the tunnel in which Diana lost her life. 













 
 
In the evening our bus takes us to a restaurant very reminiscent of the restaurant in the movie, Ratatouille.  In fact, during the meal, a mouse came out and ran just behind my head on the seat back.  I didn’t see it, but would have been charmed to have done so.  Our meal was delicious, the endless beverages (wine for some, soda for others) and serenading musicians just for our party was enjoyed by all. 

It was a strange sensation to realize that the bus full of strangers, who just a bit over a week ago set out on an adventure with us, and eventually became like family, have just said goodbye.

There were some who will truly not be forgotten.  There may be a few with whom we remain in touch.  It is doubtful we will see any of them again.

But we will never be the same having met them.
