Paris, the final chapter










I am sure you are all sick of hearing about Paris, so this is the end. We got up on New Year's eve and took it easy. We visited the National Archive and the Picasso museum. We ate food from the street and strolled about. We had a terrific dinner (I ate Fois Gras), and met Mike at 11 on the Metro. We went to the Champs Elysee for the New Year's celebration. We walked in the festive crowd of thousands with our bottle of cheap champagne. At midnight, nothing happened! No countdown or anything to officially mark the New Year. Just people yelling, "Bon Annee" at random intervals. It was pretty funny that nothing happened, but it was still fun. When we got back to our hotel, things were really hoppin'. We had to leave at 6 AM the next morning, so we called it a night. When we made our way to the airport, things were still hoppin'.
