Bonjour a Paris
Happy New Year from Paris! Beth, Dan, Rene and I have all been having a good time. We spent the day today at the Musee d'Orsay looking at Renoir's, Monet's, Manet's and Van Gough's. We plan to head to Le Louvre on Sunday or Monday. I have my daVinci Code guide to help me out there. I can't wait to search through the halls in the footsteps of Robert Langdon. That will be fun. We've visited Notre Dam and walked the banks of le Seine. On our way back from the d'Orsay we passed by Le Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. We also plan to visit Champs Elysees, Tour Eiffel and Moulin Rouge.
There has been no shortage of fresh croissants, et le pain au cholocat francais. I also hope to get in a traditional meal of entrecote avec pomme frites (steak and fries). The weather has been cool, ranging from the 30s to low 50s and sporadic rain. All in all, the weather has cooperated, without much wind and just comfortable enough to walk around.
Tonight, in celebration of the New Year, we'll be cooking a half a chicken purchased at a local meat market where they also sold wild boar and horse. Gross. Half a chicken seemed the more tame option. After the meal, we will head outdoors to watch a fireworks display. Not sure where that is, but I would imagine somewhere near the Eiffel Tower. It looks like it's going to be a white New Year in Northern Nevada. I wish it snowed when Beth and I were there for Christmas. We'll be headed back to the states on January 4. Until then, I wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year. Dan wishes the same. Au voir!
