Hey! Today Emily, Robert and I (Sami) started out a little slow. By two we were out of the house and heading towards the Pompidou Center. On our way we checked out a couple tourist shops, and might have found a couple of things ;D Then we wound our way to the BHV which is really close to the Pompidou Center. We found some black knee highs for the festival this weekend, but we are still looking for some shoes. Then we grabbed a crepe to hold us over for a little while, Robert and Emily got a nutella crepe, while I went for a cheese one. Then after we ate those we headed into the Pompidou Center. Oh, by the way it has been drizzling on and off all day, so it was a good time to go inside. After standing in line and watching a little girl throw a fit for about ten minutes, we got our tickets to the Kandinsky exhibition. The exhibit had a number of his better known pieces, along with some of his more obscure works. We could have stayed there all day trying to pick out new things from each painting. Then we went to George, a cafe on the top floor there (owned by the same people as Madrigal), Robert took some cool pictures of us and then we had drinks. Emily and Robert went for coffees and I had a limonade. After that Robert headed off to the gym and we went back to the apartment. After a quick clothing change we headed to the Eiffel Tower to check out the Trocadero. We got some great pictures of the Eiffel Tower and saw it twinkling for a while as well. I found a pair of sunglasses and we watched some of the street performers dancing. Then on our way back to the metro we picked up some ice cream. Today was a nice day and we were able to check a lot of places/things off our list. Tomorrow we are going to Versailles! We miss and love you all!
Sami & Emily :D

Sounds like a most wonderful day! I'm afraid Salem will be rather dull -- at least in the area of architect once you get home : ( But you'll have all of your photos to reminisce about! I hope you girls get to ride the bikes around the grounds of Versailles tomorrow and pack a picnic. We loved the photos from London -- great pics! When do you get to go to Robert's yoga class?? Love, Mom, Dad, Molly & Kerry dog
ReplyDeleteVersailles will be a wonderful adventure. The surrounding gardens and village are as intereting as the building, if not more so. I expect great pictures from there ;). I too hope you pack a picnic lunch and ride bikes around. It sounds so magical and whimsical. Say hi to everyone. Maddie is excited for you to go to Versailles because one of her Nancy Drew games is set there and Marie Anionette's death is the plot. She asks for pictures and trinkets.
ReplyDeleteLove, Mom and Maddie
Ooo have fun at Versailles, and take lots of pictures!!
ReplyDeleteHi Girls...... First a message from Grampa Clancy...."Get up early... it's a great place but it will be an all day adventure!"...
ReplyDeleteAnd from me... I hope the weather will cooperate so you can see the Hamlet, the Petite Trinon, and the gardens. If not, there is plenty to see inside and the town of Versailles is interesting in itself. I'm looking forward to tales of your Normandy adventures too. Love Gramma Karen~
