Shopping on the Rue

After a big first night out in Paris, celebrating an American's 70th birthday, we punished ourselves by deciding to walk the zillion miles down the Rue de Rivoli to the Marais. Unfortunately, we didn't make it much past our block - we had to stop and have lunch, then nap, and go to the Monoprix. Then have Thai for dinner. Then not sleep at all, thanks to jet lag.

The following day, though, we got up early-ish and got out to go to the Marais. The day wasn't kind to anyone's feet (especially not poor Sarah) but it was nice out, and we all did end up with a lot of pretty new things.

Plus, I got a chance to take a few pictures of metro stops for my sister. She's writing her senior thesis on something that has to do with the art nouveau metro stops in Paris...hopefully some of what I got on film will help her.
