Singing in the Rain
Yup, it is raining today. And it is also cold! Our plans for today was to include going to Notre Dame, Sainte Chappelle and hopefully the modern art museum in the Pompidiu center. We brought our umbrellas withus and they were in imediate use as it was raining. We went ot a bougerlai for a croysant and Dona got the tomatoe and eggplant quiche. We had to take the Metro to Chantelet and transfer to anothere line. The walk between 7 and line 4 was some distance. We arrived at the Cite Stop off of line 4 and saw the Church of Sainte Chapelle in front of us. We found the entrance but it had a line. The line moved slow s it was first a security check before you could purchace your ticket at 8 euros. Despite standing in the cold and waiting once we got in it was worth the wait. Sainte Chappelle is beautiful and it is not called the glass cathedral for nothing. After that visit we went over to Notre Dame and toured that church. they had a section open that I had not noticed before called the Notre Dame Treasury. It cost 3 euros and there were all sorts of important artifacts the church has collected thoughout the years. As it was cold and rainy after we left Notre Dame we headed for a cafe for a hot chocolate or coffee. We went to the nearest one and what we did have was a hot spice wine to warm us and a crepe. Dona hd a lemon crep and I had a banana crepe. Unlike my Irish Prince it turns out that I like everything I eat in Paris. Of course that can also explain why he is thin and I am not! After fighting the rain, cold and metro trains we are now home and in a warm apartment. It is warm in the apartment and now after a little bit to eat and a warm cup of coffee I am ready for a nap. Later our intention is to go to the cheese store to pick out some cheeses and buy some take away food, as they call it, for our dinner in the apartment. This has been the third day of rain. Hopefully it will clear up tomorrow!
