Day 3c--Let's wrap it up! Notre Dame, La Seine, & a bit of disallusion

Mes Amis!

so, as you can tell, day 3 was a full day! let me quickly complete the day so that we can move on...

The short version: my afternoon/evening
1. Metro to Notre Dame--LOVE the metro, that'll have to be a whole separate love dissertation

2. Disallusion on the Metro... oi...

3. Le Tour De France

4. Notre Dame

5. Cruise on the Seine

6. Lost (oh, yes, again)
The Details (un petit peu!)

1. Love the Metro, makes sense, logical, maps, can go anywhere from anywhere and cheap! Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme… it’s all sooo different and the same… not mere people watching, but splashing about in the petrie dish with all the specimens!

2. Sigh... got my pocket picked... not sure if on the Metro on in the crowd approaching Notre Dame... what a rube (back superego, back!) they got 15euro, and 5 metro tickets (bastards! Not the metro tickets!). Lesson learned--gotta be more security minded... enter the resurgence of the bra pocket--don't laugh--I'll know if someone reaches for the girls!! And, I'm one of the lucky ones that can accommodate all I need to accommodate! hahahaha
I was significantly upset when I discovered the loss—just prior to entering Notre Dame—but am grateful it was not too expensive a lesson... some introspection followed...hmmmm...

3. Yes, I got to see Le Tour de France--from a distance--too many crowds, and really, there are lots of bicycles here.... by any other name, it is yet a bicycle… lots of cheering people

4. Notre Dame is STILL so amazing! I was in time for the organ concert... wow! but sooo many people! it was good to sit and regroup/reassemble myself before going back into the world, and you could still feel presence there--but sooo many people. I'm gonna try to go back in the early am (some photos, though my small wonder didn’t handle the low interior light)

5. cruise on the Seine was so nice--nice people, surrealistic environs... sigh... i wonder if they need teachers/autism consultants in Paris???

6. home again, home again, jiggety-jig... walking in the Marais District, got lost (again... barely worth mentioning as I get lost at least once a day) but you can't stay lost for long--I only started to worry when I needed a bathroom at 10pm---but not to worry, got map, and eventually all roads lead to somewhere you know!

Bonne nuit!
