Feet burn

What a day! After a great breakfast at the hotel we were off to check off eight sights off our list
first we went to Sainte-Chapelle with the most beautiful stain glass
Then we went to La Conciergerie- the prison and guillotine. Lovely

And then we went and heard the Bells of Notre Dame! It was incredible  

I was surprised to find that Disney captured the building to every detail in the hunch back of Notre Dame. It look just like I expected it to be. 

for lunch MaCall Kelsey kate and I got crepes for lunch right under Norte Dame. 

 We then wandered and found the Pantheon . . .
And then the Luxembourg Gardens 
Where we sat basking in the sun

 But our day was not over yet. By now however our feet and legs hurt so badly!
We made our way to the Hotel de les Invalides to view Napoleon's tomb and such.
And finally we were off the the Musee d'Orsay!
Which maybe we should have done first. . .
our feet hurt so badly that involuntarily one by one we would fall over.
In one room even Kelsey Kennedy and I laid down in the middle of the floor. 
But what big names this museum had! 

Monet
Manet 
Cezanne
Daga
Renoir
Van Gogh

and on and on 

after draging ourselves and clutching our growling stomaches we found a lovely little place to eat
EVERYTHING is in French! We could not read anyting on the menu except carbonara and spaghetti
But we had a great day anyway. . .
