Sunday was a beautiful fall day here. Sunny with highs in the 60s with a light breeze. Perfect walking weather. Joe and I walked and walked and walked some more. We weren't alone; it seemed like most of the city was out enjoying the day.
Just look at all the people on the bridges.
We headed over to the Flower Market which turns into a bird market on Sundays.
This is the Tour of St Jacque. It was under renovation when I was here in '08.
The Pompidou Center.
From the Pompidou we headed into the Marais to see the Musèe Carnavalet.
This is a free museum contained in two 17th century mansions. Telling the history of Paris with art.

The old windows are beautiful. |

Even the floors were amazing.

As we headed back we stopped in the Church of St-Paul-of-St-Louis
|
Now that is a pipe organ. |
|
Once again beautiful old windows. |
As we crossed over the Seine we noticed how the sun was playing on the water and all the couples enjoying the day.
OK, Vicki, Steven just forwarded me the blog address so I'm caught up with your exploits! Wonderful writing and photos - makes me feel like I'm right there. Keep it up - but take care of yourself so you don't end up sick. Remember there's lots of living to do!!!
