Another Rainy Day in Paris

This is the third day in a row it has rained and the high was 55 degrees today.  That's cold for people who are used to Phoenix/Scottsdale weather.     We decided to stick to indoor activity in the way of more museums.  Also, our museum passes expire today.

Musee de l'Armee    Army Museum /Napolean's Tomb

The Musee de l'Armee had lots of cool suits of armor along with the history of the evolution of the suit of armor.    Also had lots of weapons including cannons.

Napoleon's Tomb

This is what that gold dome looks like on the inside.     If you want to learn a little more about Napoleon's Tomb, visit this link written by Rick Steves.

We went to a little cafe for lunch and had crepes.

After lunch we planned on going to both the Middle Ages Museum and also the Sorbonne.  When we got to the Middle Ages Museum, it was closed (as was the Georges Pompidou Museum that Susan had wanted to see)!  So we walked some in the Latin Quarter, but it was really cold outside and the wind was blowing.  We decided to go back to the D'Orsay before stopping at a patisserie on the way back to the hotel.  Maybe we got a little carried away with the pasteries. 

The beignet must have had at least a half a cup of raspberry jam in it when I bit into it.  Not your Dunkin Donuts pastry for sure.  So far, sharing the beignet was all we had room for.  But the night is young.
