First day in Paris complete!

Well, our first day is in the books! After a not-so-luxurious night of sleeping on the plane, we hit the ground running after arriving in Paris this morning. After dropping off our stuff at the hotel, we trekked to the catacombs (underground tunnels lined with bones... Creepy!) and got to admire beautiful Impressionist paintings and sculptures by Renoir, Degas, VanGogh and Monet in Musée d'Orsay. Oh, and of course, no visit to Orsay is complete without a admiring of my favorite polar bear sculpture, Pompon's Ours blanc (see photo in previous post) Afterwards, we strolled through the picturesque Parisian streets to dinner, passing two of the most famous cafés in Paris. Dinner was super tasty and we decided to come back to the hotel early to crash and try to recuperate some of those hours of sleep we lost on the plane last night.

Hourah! Nous sommes enfin arrivés à Paris! (By the way, this is the famous clock in Musée d'Orsay.)
