We made it to Paris and boy is it sizzling...today was at least 32 C. We took the city tour on a double decker bus, the wrong bus and we toured the northern part of the city for an hour. Basically saw nothing but traffic for an hour...ok so we saw the Moulon Rouge, the Gare du Nord, the Gare de L'est and we got a peak at the Sacre Coeur. Finally we got on the right bus and the tour was great....we saw everything....and best of all we got the front seat on top under the mini roof so it was shaded and cool. We saw Opera Garnier, the Place Vendome, Place de la Concorde, the Champs Elyseees, circled the Arch de Triumph, the Eiffel Tower from several angles, the Petit Palace, the Grand Palace, The Trocadero, The Hotel des Invalides, the Rodin Museum (and the Thinker in the garden), the Musee D'Orsay, the Louvre, the Cathedral Notre Dame, and the Latin Quarter. We even saw a wreck, 2 "Smart Cars" collided in an intersection. Ironic.
