And on the 7th day, she rested

Whooooo; with only today and tomorrow te explore Paris.....i was a lazy woman today and couldnt leave the house.....of course it's lovely being around DElphine and her family and I got to have a lovely Sunday meal, look through all my photos with Delphine and laugh hysterically with Delphine about funny things that have happened over our 3 or so weeks together, so it's fine that i didnt discover and explore more of Paris...I have tomorrow.
So yesterday, had a huge day....started at 10 and came home at 1....the entire time i've been in France....excluding some of the days I was sick, though i can include some sick days too, i have not gone to bed before midnight....I al a party animal.
However; even though i stayed out late with C and D's friend, my eyes were red and i was tired by 6 pm...but i worked through it;)
We started off in Montmartre and walked up, down, and around the neighborhood. There was a fabulous singing duo that i happened to hear and we were lucky enough to catch the end of their act, i swear to god one was Johnny Hallyday, the french"elvis" but when i showed the pic to Delphine, she said, "You are so not French, because no french person would believe he is Johnny."
Then we walked and we walked to the Bassin de la Villette, where I was treated to the BEST, non-homemade, French seafood meal I have had in Paris (I have to be very specific because I've had so many best meals. After a 3 hour meal, it was off to 3 different parks I've never been to, followed by the canals of St.Martin made famous in Amelie Poulain and where I was lucky enough to find rocks i could try and skip, then to a homeless encampment at the place de la republique (sf and paris are not that different; i'm so happy to learn!), an aperitif with Campari, which might be one of the worst types of alcohol i've ever tried, then a nighttime bikeride past le louvre, notredame, les iles de la cite, and the latin quarter and finally a picnic along the Seine including a candle...because as C and D's french friend explained you always have to have a romantic moment in Paris.
So...I had to rest today. 4 big, packed days and one more tomorrow, and then home again home again, jiggidy jig.
