We woke up and went to breakfast at the "Family Room" of the Novotel. The warm crepes were awesome, the chocolate pastries were yummy and the waffle was thick as cake, but tasted like a donut - rich! We walked over to the twin sister Lady Liberty and took some pictures although it was kind of a let down after seeing our beautiful Statue of Liberty.
We walked over to the Eiffel Tower, looked for souvenirs took pictures, went to a little market close to the river and walked over to the other side of the Eiffel Tower for final pictures.
We took the Metro over to the obelisk - the place where the executions took place during the French Revolution. It looked cloudy and we thought it might rain. We got back onto the Metro and then when we came off there was a crowd of people huddled at the exit because it was pouring! People would come in and they were completely soaked. After waiting a bit, we decided to run for cover and ended up at a cafe. We stayed, ate lunch, and watched the rain. When it finally let up, we walked over to Notre Dame. We heard this huge clap of thunder that sounded like a cannon, but by that time the rain was gone and it began to get hot and humid again. The Notre Dame Cathedral was amazing - no wonder it took 200 years to build, it was so detailed.
After this, we headed for our train to go back to London. We loved our little stay in Paris, but are happy to be back in London where people speak English!
