Paris Day 6: Takin It Slow

     So Donna had gotten sick from the rain and cold in Paris, and Versailles in particular. She decided to head home a day early to curl up at home and try to fight off whatever she had (probably a good choice since it kept raining). So we went into the city one more time before she left in the afternoon. We visited the Arc de Triumph, then strolled down the Champs de Elysee. We just took it easy, trying not to make her even more sick in her state, but still enjoying our time and a nice lunch in the St. Germaine neighborhood. We stopped for a bit in the St. Germaine chapel as well, which was nearly empty and provided a quiet respite from the bustle of Paris. We headed over to the Gare de Nord station where I bid her farewell and good luck at Yale next year... See you soon Dona!



The Tomb of the Unknown soldier in Paris.

From the Arc de Triumph to the Lourve, the Champs de Elysees

Some clever French protest signs at the closed Virgin megastore...



The stained glass in St. Germaine
St. Germain church... Nearly empty.


This glowing pillar really caught my eye as we left.

I was disturbed to see this sign in Sucy, I thought it might meant that they have issues with car bombers... Apparently, it means that you cant transport explosive liquids... Weird sign though haha
