I believe I am still breathing in some Paris air, gims  Are you kidding, Lola??? No way would I ever cross that road! We always took the long way around, on the outside of the roundabout. But can you really call it a roundabout? Ladies, I have never seen such an unorganized mess that intersection is. Cars going sideways, backwards, forwards, moving from one unmarked lane to another, at least four lanes away in one quick move. I even closed my eyes when the taxi driver went around the arc. Our seatbelts were always on tight, tight, tight.

We went to almost all of the art museums. Dennis loved this, because in Paris, if you are using a wheel chair, you and one other person are allowed to cut to the front of the line and get in free! Dennis was in cheapster heaven. And, we were able to get in front of the rope to see the Mona Lisa up close and personal. Cool. Here is one of Napolean's rooms as seen from the Louvre  and just a few of Dega's ballerinas from the d'Orsay  The d'Orsay was our favorite, but the Louvre was extremely impressive.

I am so happy that Dennis got the "royal treatment." I got to visit a museum with my mother too. There are some fantastic museums in Muenich. You got me going! Great photos Anne. Love Dega's ballet figures. I thought he just painted them! Gee,learn something new every day.
