Today, we went to the Carousel du Louvre to visit the Apple Store. While we were there, we had to use the facilities, and you would not believe the bathroom we found! Point WC looked more like a popular night club when we got in line. The woman who took our money was wearing one of those "operators are standing by" headsets. For those in the know, Point WC is a very posh bathroom experience. All for 1€. Check it out:
beautiful toilet paper
The Apple Store was pretty amazing too. To get upstairs at the Apple Store, you walk up a glass spiral staircase. Pretty cool!
We went to the Apple Store with hopes of buying a connecting cable so that we can watch all of our downloaded TV episodes by connecting the iPad to our big TV. Unfortunately, (of course) we bought the wrong cables and so now we have to go back and try again. Not such a bad thing, as the Carousel du Louvre is actually located in the ground floor of the Musée du Louvre (where the Mona Lisa is.) Check it out. You can see the Pyramide Inversée in the background behind the Apple logo. According to Dan Brown, the bones of Mary Magdalene are buried beneath that point.
This weekend, we had our very first overnight guest! Paul Daniels and Christopher used to be lifeguards together back in the mid-80's. Paul lives in Japan now and actually hung out with us in Kyoto when we visited there last year.
We spent Saturday in Paris checking out the Jardins de Luxembourg. It's a great park for kids and people watchers.
You can climb the "Eiffel Tower."
You can rent a toy sailboat.
You can cause an international incident by stealing a young Italian's pail and shovel.
I actually prefer the Jardin des Tuileries, where Gaius met and played with these two young ladies today. They played with him for over an hour.
Overall it was a great weekend. I love PARIS!
walking the walk...
Gaius tries escargot for the first time
these two guys could save your life
à bientôt!

I can't believe that Apple Store!! Just amazing and at the Louvre! Too cool. Okay, where is a Point WC when you need one in San Francisco? I am so sick and tired using gross, graffitied wc's in the city! Such a neat concept. I can't wait to get to Paris. Your pictures a so beautiful and I am so glad you guys are having so much fun!!
Awesome Heather!
Is that a Leffe beer in Paul's hands? Leffe on tap, I bet. Wait until winter, then you'll be able to enjoy Leffe brun! Ah, if only here in the states. I also recognized the G t-shirt on Gaius! What fun, the weekend in Paris.
