We finished an exhautsing day by dining outside at Place de l'Alma at Chez Francis. Tina had Fish and Chips and I had Penne rigate, tomatoes and fresh basil. We realized that we had a great view of the Eiffel Tower and that the tower twinkle would happen if we could sit there for a little over an hour. I ate one penne per minute and stretched out the time. The twinkle was awesome! We finished the night with creme brulee and a quick metro ride home. (The photos from the restaurant are on my iPhone, so I will need to post later.)

Garden and dancing areas along the river. I understand that the tango takes over on weekend nights. |
Flowers and great views. |
This was pretty interesting. The building is going through revovation. Instead of the scaffolding showing, it is covered by a huge advertisement. |
In addition to the huge advertisements, the facade of the building is painted and displayed so that the construction does not spoil the view. |
The end of another Spring day in Paris. |

Ahhh, what a lovely little cruis along the Seine. Paris in spring time....
I got a little chill knowing we were close to the area where Diana died. Very sad. The boat ride was wonderful and gave us a much needed respite for our tired feet. It was nice seeing the sites from a different perspective. But, again, didn't know which way to look as I wanted to see everything.
"What did you do today, Tina?"
"Oh, not much. Just took a little boat trip down the Seine and then watched the Eiffel Tower light show."
LOVE IT!!
