Paris day 3

We started the day by setting off for Montmartre and Sacre Coeur. After much walking we arrived at the base of the funicular where there were many funky stores. Bo was able to find a birthday gift for Phoebe and a funky purse for herself. We passed on the funicular and hiked up to Sacre Coeur. From there we followed a walking tour suggested in the Paris guide, after which we took the metro back and rested for 2 hours. Then it was off to the Louvre to meet Phoebe et. al. We searched for a place to eat and found a nice restaurant. However, the food was not great but nowhere near as bad as last night's sausage. From there we walked to the Luxembourg gardens. Al had an ice cream cone for $7 and the kid rode a swing for 5 minutes for $2. From there we walked toward Montparnasse and stopped in a patisserie for coffee and cake. We finally found a metro which brought us home. Needless to say, we were exhausted.
