Paris in the Spring

Hot and sunny in Paris today mixed with.... rain? Spring weather can change a lot here! So far we have visited the Eiffel Tower (big hit with James) been conned out of a water bottle and an apple by a gypsy (could have been worse), visited a science museum and spent 5 hours (!!!?!!) at the Louvre (big hit with David).

James has decided that all the classical depictions of guys with armor are missing the likely smell factor which would accompany their lifestyle. He's decided they all wore 'smellmets' on their heads; not helmets... James has such long hair now, he's starting to be a bit smellmetty himself.

Tomorrow we have a booking for Cité des Enfants at the science and technology centre. No Smellmets.

Paris is an amazing city; more amazing is our ability to instantly figure out the Metro and find a place for the boys to use the washroom withing 2 or 3 minutes! The travel skills one acquires... much easier in French than in Greek...

Our apartment is close the the Place de la Republique and is very small, but nice. The boys can find their way home on 4 diferent Metro lines.

Thanks to all for birthday greetings - so sorry to Gracie for not sending an e-mail on your birthday; we hope it rocked, girlfriend.
