Paris Day 14!!

This morning we headed to Montmartre! When we were walking to the metro this morning we noticed it was cooler than it had been yesterday, so we were hoping it would continue for the rest of the day. We made it to Montmarte without a hitch, but once we got out in the air it took us a little bit to figure out where we were. But we walked over to Sacre Coeur and up the main stairs. There were lots of Africans trying to put bracelets on people's wrists, including ours. One guy walked up to Emily, but she was able to blow him off pretty easy. Then another guy walked up to me (Sami) I told him no several times and he put his hand on my arm and was asking me why I was being so sour and why I didn't like Africa, but I just told him no really sternly, finally I shook him off. But I was walking the whole time, oh well I delt with it. When we got up to Sacre Coeur we realized we weren't going to be able to go in because we weren't wearing the proper attire. But then we walked around the corner and saw the crypt and decided we should check it out. When we were buying our tickets, the guy there asked us if we were going to go up, not knowing what he ment we said yes. Well we got in and found ourselves winding up these stairs and realized that we were going up to the dome of the church! The stairs were dimly lit, narrow, no railings and poor air circulation, but the view from the top was spectacular! There was a breeze that cooled us down and after taking pictures of everything we sat to enjoy the scenery. When we were leaving the crypts the air raid siren from WWII went off and Emily freaked out. She thought maybe there was someone with a gun or something, and I was just a little puzzled. Then Robert called us because he knew Emily would be sared to let us know what it was all about. Then we walked to the Musee du Montmartre where artist such as Renoir and Lautrec once had studios. There Emily found some of her favorite pieces of art. The gardens there were quaint and elegant. Then around the corner is a small vineyard, which reminded us of home. Emily was reminded of work and I was reminded of Pat and Leigh's vineyard. Then we walked to the tourist square where there are tons of artists. We got our silhouettes done (2 coppies!) and they look exactally like us! Then we went around the corner, down two flights of stairs to the metro without any problems! Once we got back to the apartment we had lunch and packed a little. Tonight we are going out to dinner with Pat, Helen, Stephane and Robert for Pat's birthday. Tomorrow we go to London until Monday! We will try and post when we are there! Pictures of our day to come later! We miss and love you all!
