Day 28 - Monday September 6th

Slept in again today, got up around 11:00 and got ready to meet up with Maria and our new official meeting place for our excursions. M* Trocadero - we meet there for our bus trips and such. We met her today at Cafe Trocadero - she treated up to Coffee and Dessert (Cappuccino and Mousse de Chocolat).Before hand, Victoria and I went for a little walk and got crepes (I had a sugar crepe) and got to see a view of the Eiffel Tower I've never seen before - the side with the fountains from up above, not the garden side.After lunch, Victoria and I bought planners and a French-English dictionary and the headed towards Galleries Lafayette and Le Printemps - the two major shopping malls of Paris. We walked the combined 10+ levels of both, looking and admiring and wishing we could buy all the expensive clothes. Then we headed home and had lunch with the group in the caf.

We got ready, went to the corner bar - had Afligem (The beer we had in Colorado!) and then hopped on the Metro towards the 1st and the Louvre and ended up at an all American or at least English-speaking bar The Lizard Lounge. Katie, Victoria and I had a round of Woo-Woo's - their drink of the week - and then finished the night off with a couple demi-peches. We took a cab home around 2:00, Victoria and I had a nice chat, and then off to bed.
