Well family and friends. Our day started a little earlier, today! Fortunately, we lacked the drama of the police issue and crossing of dangerous streets. Check out the girls drinking wine for breakfast in one of our pictures... actually, it is really good grape juice! We all agree that it is the best grape juice ever.
We had a very light day at Musee du Louvre. As many of you know, this museum is miles long! We could not cover most of the museum, but we had a multimedia set to walk us through the Egyptian exhibit and we viewed the Islamic art (lots of pictures). It was great with interactive games for the children. After lunch, we went to explore the Mona Lisa and the paintings and statues in the Denon and Sully wings.
Unfortunately, we got so caught up that we didn't keep track of the time and missed the Venus de Milo. We plan on going back... maybe tomorrow! We may go on a cruise tomorrow and see some of your favorite sites... thanks for the feedback and comments. We will take pictures of these sites for you and think of you.
For those of you that did not send us requests... This is your opportunity to have people in France thinking about you at your favorite spots!!!
AU REVOIR!!!

Hello there Dear Carters!
This is Ms. Grant writing. How wonderful to see you in Paris and to hear about your exciting encounters! The Place d'Etoile/rue Charles de Gaulle is the only place in the World I have ever vowed - to Never, ever drive!!... Are there still about 12 lanes, whizzing around at top speed, without any lane markings?!!
I am surprised and happy to see that Mona is so beautifully displayed!..When I was young(er!), one had to line up and file past in single file, peering into a deeply recessed, dimly lit box on the wall for a glimpse of her. I guess that was the preservation/lighting control in those days.)
My favorite places in Paris to visit are the Musee d'Orsay, the Musee Rodin, and the walk up to the Sacre Coeur and Montmartre.
Have a lovely day there! I'm jealous!
You guys are making me want to plan my next trip to Paris! What a cool day! Mona Lisa, Seine River, Notre Dame-- how lucky are you guys!
Many thanks to Uncle Malc for giving the girls a trip they will remember for the rest of their lives!
Syd-- I'm in Boston with Mommy and Spence and can't wait to see you when you come home. In the meantime, HAVE A GREAT TIME! We love you!
