One of the girls we met for dinner earlier in the week was turning 22, so we met her at a sushi place for a couple of hours. Very fun times. Fun note: they have cheese sushi in Paris. It's some sort of cream cheese surrounded by rice and seaweed. Pretty good, actually.
There are many boat rides that one can take along the Seine. My program took us on the Bateaux Mouches, and then I took the girls on the same ride when Katie and her friends
came to visit last spring. I'm pretty fond of it. It has a nice sequence, and it's a good price. But I'd never taken the cruise during the day. What details was I missing out on? Time to find out...

| Centre Georges Pompidou |

| The amazing houseboats along the Seine |
 |
| A corner of the Louvre |
 |
| Musee d'Orsay |
 |
| Love-Lock Bridge- you and your true love bring a padlock, write your initials and the date, lock it onto the bridge, then kiss as you throw the key into the Seine |
 |
| The little garden where I wrote the other day |
 |
| People hanging out, enjoying the gorgeous weather |
 |
| That one building |
 |
| Notre Dame from the side/back |
A ridiculously gorgeous day. Lots of picnickers.
I finished the day by hanging out along the Seine for a few hours, writing and pondering. I think I am arranging my life in such a way that it won't ever be too long before I visit Paris again. That realization took away whatever stress I was feeling to revisit every spot I had even remotely fond memories of. Instead, I hit whatever moved me that day. Made for an excellent vacation.
Stateside once more, but a few more updates to come!
