Our Last Day in Paris


We were sad about our last day in Paris. The food here was excellent, especially the pastries. We visited the Luxembourg gardens – a beautiful park filled with kids playing with toy sailboats. We walked around the backside of Notre Dame from across the river. We also saw the Jardin Des Plantes – another park that included a zoo. Kelly had fun in the labyrinth. We didn’t get a chance to visit in the zoo (too expensive for our budget). We spent the rest of the day walking in the Latin Quarter – eating pastries and window-shopping. We did have an excellent piece of chocolate from Jeff de Bruges (a famous chocolatier in Europe).

The people here were helpful and pleasant. We did not have any negative experiences due to the fact we are Americans. The people spoke English to us when they could or got someone who could. Overall, Paris has been a wonderful experience and we hope to visit again.
