C'est Vendredi!

We missed a day! Sorry! I can't imagine that we will actually be able to enter everyday but we will try to keep you all informed. Yesterday while Kevin was at work and Kathleen was at school Megan demanded that I be tourist! We navigated the metro, which is very simple, toward Musee d'Orsay for a little art education. It was drizzly and cool but the museum was tres magnifique! The first thing I saw was a jeune fille sketching one of the sculptures, (I should do that sometime), then we saw people taking pictures (we should do that sometime since we forgot our camera this time), and then we saw lots of beautiful paintings and sculptures! It is a massive building, mostly open for five floors, that used to be a train station. We successfully metroed (new verb!) our way back to the apartment. We picked up Kathleen from her long day at 4:30 and went to the market yet again!

Today Megan tried to get me out to be a tourist again! It was NOT my fault that we did not succeed! We headed down to the metro, purchased le carnet (ten metro tickets), and headed to the left bank. We were heading to the Catacombs where Paris dumped beaucoup de bones in the 1700s! Unfortunately, the catacombs were closed for repairs. Change of plans. It was at this point that we realized that we did not bring the map and it began to rain. We wander through a nearby cemetery and then wimped out and headed home via le metro. So now we rest inside and wait for Kathleen to get out of school! Au revoir!
