Day Two - Paris 2010
The 'gang' seemed to have survived both the travels to and the first day in Paris. We arrived a little later than our mid-morning CDG arrival. Barbara was so pleased to escape the east coast foul weather that she did not mind the long wait for us at the airport.
Bad weather was not to be outdone with repairs to the RER B train from the airport. The train station at nearest our terminal was closed for repairs - meaning we had to transfer to another terminal before traveling to our hotel. A bit of surprise - and certain to make our return more challenging. Oh well - that is a week away.
Our Latin Quarter home has undergone a renovation and updating. The biggest change is new bathrooms. Our room has lost its second window - a feature I adored for extra ventilation - to cool down those warm rooms. Overall - the renovation has not done much to improve the property -- other than raise rates a bit. That said - the D'Albe continues to be our favorite spot to rest after a full day of exploring Paris.
This morning brought a surprise of warmer weather although now - the temperatures have dropped drastically. I may need to pull out my 'long-johns' before venturing out tomorrow. Everyone started the day fairly rested in spite of the fact that most did not sleep through the night.
We are learning to make two changes to travel blogging - one is for everyone to blog rather than a single author and two is the use of a mobile Mifi equipped with a Orange SIM card. Bear with us - by the end of this trip we will have our new 'group' travel blogging down to an art form.
Today - we enjoyed both the Musse Jacquemart-Andre and the Musee Marmottan Monet. Both are former residences turned museums and house spectacular private collections.
