Paris day two

Napoleon's Tomb with garden and Army Museum

Bonjour!  Today in Paris we went to the Army Museum at Napoleon's Tomb and saw the fabulous World War II exhibit.  It is one of the best on WWII in the world.  Very interesting with lots of large screens playing footage of the various events including D-day.  It was sobering and made us proud of our American soldiers.  Then we went on another bus tour to the Sacre Cour area of Paris.  We just had to stop to shop a little and get some Ben and Jerry's...it was hot today!  We also found out that a Big Mac costs $9.50 in Paris!  (didn't buy) We went to a little crepe place near our hotel for dinner.  We have been there a couple of times and are getting to know the owner a bit.  He has a strong faith in God.  Sean and Kirk are going to take a Segway tour of Paris tomorrow.  I'll be sure to get a picture of that!
