We all arrived in Paris as scheduled, all tired and short tempered.  Melissa and I arrived first and in the best shape, having flown business class;  but I can tell you that those reclining seats are still tough to sleep on. Sam and Matt arrived next followed by Margaret and Sarah.  Sarah had a cold and didn’t feel well.  We met up in the Luxembourg Gardens, got to our apartment and all took a good nap.

Resuscitated, and feeling ready to explore the city, we walked through the Gardens and north to the Seine. We had stopped at a patisserie to buy quiches and water, and ate them near Notre Dame Cathedral. It was after 8:00 pm, so no tours today. After the walk back to our apartment we went out for dinner at a restaurant called “Mustache” which was right around the corner. Having our first real meal in 2 days made everyone happy and we headed home to bed.
