It appears that Paris is back to normal. Except for the metro that was very crowded, all the museums that were suppose to be open were open. Glenda and I had a great breakfast of sweet rolls and quiche from the bakery for breakfast. We left for the Louve about 1pm.. We did not have our tickets but it turned out that we did not wait long to get our ticket and get in.. We rented the audio guides and split up as I had seen almost everything the previous visit except for some french painters, Flemish, German and Dutch paintings. We decided to meet in 3 hrs and the time flew by. However I did get to see all the rest of the paintings I wanted to see. When we left the museum we found that adjacent to the museum is a little shopping center. We broused the shops but did not buy anything. After the Louve we went for a walk in the Tullerie gardens which is next to the Louve. This is a beautiful garden that stretches out over 3 miles to the Bridge of Concord. It had lovely flowers, lovely ponds with a fountain in the middle and many full sized sculptures lining the paths. It was dusk and the leaves are now pretty colors of orange and red.
Our dinner pick was an African restaurant. We both had a Chicken with lemon sauce. It had olives and cooked onions on top, Dessert was a chocolate pudding with a vanilla creme sauce.
We are now home for the evening . It is about 1030 and we are thinking of going to Versailles if everything is okay with the transportation strike.
