Paris! Day Eight and Nine

4.5.10 and 4.6.10

Monday we decided to have a day to walk around the city and explore different neighborhoods. It was a nice day and we got to see lots of little things that make Paris special.

Tuesday morning, the boys wanted to get up early and visit some bookstores before meeting us in Versailles, (a 15 minute train ride from Paris), where we would visit the palace. Unfortunately, they got on the wrong train and ended up going in the opposite direction, so we didn't have time that day to visit the palace. We walked around the little town instead and visited the market.
