Today was a really long day. We posted a few times through out the day. After we went to the arch de triomphe we walked down the champs. So many people! We found a pharmacy...which was awesome. Now we can shave, store our contacts and straighten our hair. We saw the obelisk in the place de la concorde which was very cool. Its HUGE! Back in the 1700s, Egypt gave France two obelisks. This is one of them. Its stands where the guillotine once stood. (and the other obelisk is still in Egypt. It never actually made the trip to France. It was too big at the time. And then a few years ago France officially gave it back). Then when we finally made it home to the marais neighborhood where we had an amazing dinner and some wine. Our pasta had an egg on top. Very strange. It was yellow and runny. But the pasta was good. We were both so tired and sweaty then we came back to the hotel. Even tho its still light out. We were just so tired. Its crazy. My feet hurt. My ankles. Calfs. Legs. Side. Back. Shoulders. Everything!
We're gonna sleep well tonight!

Tomorrow the goal is to go to the Eiffel tower, the musee d'orsay, the musee rodin, delacroix museum. And the cluny museum. I don't know if we'll get all of that done. But its the goal. Hopefully it'll be cooler tomorrow. Today was unusually hot. 10 degrees hotter than average!
