An American in Paris: Part IV

"The Wheels on the Bus"
I woke up Sunday morning and my legs were so sore and so tight. They were refusing to cooperate (I didn't blame them) but eventually I convinced them it would be OK. I promised that we would NOT do that much walking today. So, we decided to do the open bus tour. You know, you've see those double decker bus tours. The top level is open to the elements and you can see out really well. They had 4 different routes that covered pretty much the whole city.
Not great for pictures taking with the constant movement, but great for seeing a little bit of everything...



We did get off the bus to have lunch and walk around a little bit. I finally found Amorino's Ice Cream (gelatto, actually) and it was so good!! We also spent a good chunk of the afternoon at a large garden (I forget which one). This was the view from our chairs:
This is us in the chairs. So good to sit down!
FYI- I've got 4 more chapters planned of the Paris trip. Sorry if that's annoying, but I personally, would rather read a lot of short posts than 1 or 2 really long ones. And I just might finish it off with a giveaway! Stay tuned!
