We started off on our own a couple days ago. Went to Rouen on our own, parking wasn't as difficult as we thought and the communication wasn't quite a huge barrier. Went to the dungeon (donjon) where Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'arc) was kept hostage.We wanted to go in, but like most places around here, they were closed at odd hours. Did some shopping then headed back to the Mansion for dinner and a little poker before we headed out. Karrie and Antoine's friends think Ethan is a celebrity...ha!
Our 1.5 hour drive turned into a 3 hour venture. We've learned that if you take a wrong turn here in France, it's a very long way back to the way you came. Poor Ethan, I slept and he drove.
Yesterday we drove down to the city, big mistake. It's worse than driving in NYC. It took us about 1 hour to get to the Louvre. Spectacular. We walked around for about 5 hours and didn't even come close to seeing everything. We strolled down a few blocks where there was a carnival going on. Rode the ferris wheel that over looked the museum, city streets, etc.
The Mona Lisa is behind us. I took this photo for Sean.
This is from the ferris wheel. My photography skills are getting good...eh Earl?
Enough for now. We are taking the bus/train to the city today. Hopefully that works better than driving. Then off to one last dinner with the Formosa family before they leave on holiday!

Fantastic! You are, in fact, getting some really good photos. I'm impressed. I noticed you're wearing a jacket.
