This cyber cafe is about to close--so just a quick note. The weather took a turn for the better on Thursday. We went to Saint Chappell in the AM and Luxembourg Gardens in the PM--the sun was out and it was glorius! Definitely one of the best urban parks in the world. More on that later.
We knew there was rain forecast for today but thought it wouldn't be that bad. We took the train to Versaille--cold and rainy all day. So didn't take in the gardens at all--was what I really wanted to see! THe palace was a real palace, however, so interesting to see. One very interesting thing about Paris is that all the monuments and old buildings are all ancien regime! There is not much at all about the Revolution, at least not in any of the guidebooks we have.
I'll post more details and photos in a day or two. This is turning out to be a fun way to keep in touch. As Jen said--way better that postcards!

John, you sound so very Parisian. Why don't you work on getting us a 'satelite' office there, huh??
BTW--Saint Chapelle has musical performances in the evenings. It's amazing sitting there listening to beautiful music and looking around at the stained glass window, architecture, etc.
Yes, we're really enjoying your posts. Thanks for taking the time to do it!
Chris
