highlights from Paris day 2

We started off the day on the right foot - sleeping in and then Maddie and I hit the road for a 54 minute run, mostly around the Luxembourg Gardens.

Bridge to the Left Bank.  Anyone know the meaning of these locks on the bridge? Has something to do with lovers...

Maddie and the oldest tree in the city - an acacia tree nicknamed "Robinier," after the guy who planted it in 1602.

Starbucks!!! Er, yes - we were all in dire need of real black coffee. Mmmm!  We've already mapped out our next Starbucks stop for first thing Monday morning.



And of course...



We ended the night back at the apartment with an amazing and simple dinner of a fresh baguette, gooey soft cheese, an apple, salami & chicken, and macaroons (all from stores a few doors down from our apartment).

Oh - and now there is some crazy karaoke going on in the apartment...I think it is time to hit the hay!
