Summer Vacation - Week 5 - Last Full Day in Paris

Our last full day in Paris was spent hitting all the spots we hadn't had a chance to visit.  We started at the Arc de Triomphe for one last look and walked the Champs d'elysee once again.  Which lead us ultimately to the Musee d'la Orangerie which has the installation of Monet's watercolors in two elliptical rooms just the way he imagined them to be shown.  Then downstairs we let Lily go crazy with the audio tour.  It is a much smaller museum than the other famous Paris museums but likely our favorite and the one we spent the most time in.  I was really impressed with Lily for listening for two hours to explanation of all the art and artists. 

We headed back through the Jardin de Tulleries to hang out the park just one last time before finally heading home to close the windows before the rain started.  And boy did it rain and rain and rain even harder.  It was a sultry evening in Paris with all the windows closed and the humidity sitting all around.  But we made it to the Boulangerie the following morning for our last pastries and to the train station between all the rain.  The power was even out in the train station.  Quite an eventful evening.  Then of course we were off to Bucharest with a late night arrival.
