Here are two pictures taken from our hotel. One is the view of the closest intersection a half a block away and the other is an apartment complex across the street with a cute little courtyard.We had a little excitement today. Apparently they had a Palestine demonstration right down the street. Not sure what that was about. By the time Phyllis and I got down there, it had dispersed, but here are two pictures.
We ended up going to Garde d'Est, the train and metro station and looking around to get a lay of the neighborhood where we are staying. I was able to find a cable for 5 euros...which wasn't too bad. The first one was 29 euros...there was no way I was paying that. A euro is about $1.50 right now. Thus we have pictures!!!!
I bought a bottle of French wine and then we ended up getting salads and fresh baked bread (aka...large pizza dough bread sticks) at a little pizzeria a couple of blocks away. The wine is the cheapest thing here! LOL. Everything is so expensive due to the poor value of the dollar.
We are planning on going to Versailles tomorrow to see the Chateau, the gardens and Marie Antoinette's Cottage/estate.
Stay tuned for pictures!
Bonne nuit.
It is best not to think about dollars. Have a great time.
