Friday, Last Day

Friday, May 6 2011.

Today is the last day of the trip.  "Not ready to go home" is a huge understatement.  I left home on April 1 and figured 5 weeks would be a good long time.  It was, but eventually May 6 rolled around and we have to wrap it up.  No real reason to return home, though - I have my Travelers laptop with me, so I could just work from France and make a life of it!  But Heidi wants to go home and see Liam, understandably, so we take off at noon Saturday for home. 

For the last day, we wanted to wrap up some loose ends and visit some more relaxing places.  So here you go.

First, Sacre-Coeur in Montmartre.

And the view from the Montmartre hill over the city.

Next we visited the Parc Floral de Paris, in the Bois de Vincennes at the eastern edge of Paris - where there were sights like this.  


Finally, a few wrap-up photos from where we've been staying.  As you can see from this map, the location was just about perfect - 2 blocks from the Louvre Museum in central Paris.   

Here are a few of the local stores and restaurants we visited nearly every day.


Here is the living room of the apartment, where you can see the actual computer used to update this blog every day...  Oh by the way, there is wine showing up in this picture - which was taken after noon by the way. 

And one last shot from the living room window of the neighborhood.

That's it for the this trip.  We are already planning the next one, so stay tuned.  Thanks for following along with us.
