We arrived in Paris at 3:25 and found our way by subway to our hotel (The Hotel Paris France) on the outer rim of the Marais District, which is like New York's Greenwich Village. After settling in, we walked to the Louvre to pick up tickets for tomorrow, had dinner with a full bottle of wine, and somehow managed to find our way back to the hotel. From our window, if you crane your neck, you can see the Eiffel Tower. At ten o'clock its lights sparkled like the 4th of July--or rather, the 14th. Couldn't find the camera for that shot, but this is the view from our hotel window. The little lit tower in the distance is Tour Eiffel.
