Ah....Paris!

Yes. We saw Paris yesterday. Glorious sunshine, mild temps and exciting sights and sounds. And then some. There were so many things to see and enjoy, but here are some of the beautiful buildings we saw:
A refurbished building. That's 24 carat gold.
A selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower







So big, too hard to photograph!








Notre-Dame


City Hall

We enjoyed lunch at a sidewalk cafe, Quiche Lorraine, salad and delicious bread and butter. Excellent. Later, a cappuccino and meringue cookie, too.

During the night, our ship sailed up the Seine to Vernon, near Monet's village of Giverny. My, his gardens were beautiful. We learned he felt very successful with his gardening expertise, but often was not satified with his paintings. Isn't that the way we are? How many artists, writers, photographers, musicians not satisfied with what we've produced! Here are just a few photos from our morning today. 











Later this afternoon, we'll walk through the village of Vernon. Tomorrow, we head for Normandy and the D-Day beaches.

The food is excellent and tasty, the service on the Viking Cruise impeccable. We most likely will do it again. But right now, we're heading for the salon where we'll play some dominoes!

Catcha later!
