A Busy Day in Paris

Tuesday wiped us all out as we tried to soak it all in. We started with an early line-up to see the catacombs: 

We got there 1/2 before opening & still waited. However, it was worth it - lots of fascinating sights below ground:

Karl at the carvings. 





After a short break for lunch, we met an old friend for an afternoon of playing at the Luxembourg Gardens:


We ate a quick dinner (bought from the charcuterie & boulangerie down the street from our apartment) & caught a night bike your through the city. Some amazing action as we took over Blvd. St. Germain & rode through the louvre courtyard at twilight:





We finished with night time boat ride on the Seine to catch the Eifel Tower light show from the water. A midnight taxi ride through the quiet streets & we were all in bed entirely done in.
