An Afternoon in Paris
Our first afternoon on the day we arrived in Paris in the summer of 2011. After checking in our family room with a balcony, and unpacking, we took to the streets to look for a place to eat, and found a KFC beside McDo at Vincent Auriol Boulevard (this is exactly the meeting point for our coach tour on Saturday where the bus will pick us up for a 5-day trip around 4 countries in western europe). From KFC, we strolled along China town (at Avenue de Choisy) to buy bread, fresh and powdered milk, etc. From Hotel Coypel, we took to the streets of Les Gobelins, Saint Marcel, Geoffroy Saint Hilaire, and Buffon, passing by the statue of Jeanne D'Arc (Joan of Arc), until we reached Jardin des Plantes. By 7pm, we were back to the hotel, exhausted.
