Today was our last full day in Paris! The heat let up a bit, but still quite hot.
After a late start, we decided once again to go separate ways. Rob and Mike journeyed over to la Place de la Concorde, Champs Elysees, and L’arc de Triomphe, and Becky and I ventured out to find the Picasso Museum.

Becky and I spent about an hour in the museum trying to get inside Picasso’s head. He was one very weird dude! His early paintings are quite normal, but later in life his work becomes very different. He seems to be preoccupied with distorted figures and faces, with a focus on women, the beach and string instruments. We both really had to wonder what was going on inside his head when he created his later works. They are totally bizarre.
We headed down to the Latin Quarter again for dinner – great value for a family of 4!

Came back to the apartment early so that we could pack up and get organized for tomorrow.
We are hoping that we can find storage lockers at the train station, and then head over to climb the 500 plus steps to the top of Notre Dame. We’ll have dinner before we board the train, and then we have an overnight journey to Venice.
We’ve taken over 800 pics so far, and we’re only half way through our vacation. You’ve gotta love digital cameras!

Will post photos and another blog segment once we’re in Venice with internet access.
