Footsore

This is being done on my iPad, so everything runs together. It can't be helped. We woke up to a gorgeous, sunny day today. This hotel is so nice and quiet compared to where we were staying in November! However there is some work being done on a building nearby so the jackhammers were going. Just as well, since we didn't want to miss any of the sunshine. We decided to walk to the Eiffel Tower since it had been a long time for both of us. We took our time, trolling through shops on the way. Of course it was very crowded there but we posed for pictures and strolled through. Emma had forgotten her sunglasses and there was a spring market set up by the river. She got glasses and I bought a lavender sachet woven with ribbons. Onwards we went, shedding our coats, stopping for lunch when we got out of the crush of tourists. After lunch we continued on to Champs Elysee. I wanted to stop into the big Sephora, which we did, but turned right around and left. The crowds were too much. We did find where the Marks and Spencer has relocated, which is good. But they had the heat turned up so high we couldn't stand it. I suggested we get out of the crowds and head back to the hotel, stopping for a drink on the way. And he we are. The wind is picking up but it is supposed to be nice again tomorrow so I think we will go to Sacre Coeur. I need to buy a bottle of good champagne to take to Joan's tonight. She is cooking dinner. Swordfish. She is a pretty good cook. Usually. Emma just asked "Do we have to stay all evening?". Oh I hope not!
