Daily selfie II. The view that greeted us when we came up out of the subway. Jacob looks ready to move on…he was.

20 July 22: After a 3 hour drive back to the airport to turn in the car…then a 40 min train ride…then a 15 min subway ride…then a discombobulated walk starting in the wrong direction thanks to Apple Maps not knowing the address of where we were going (Google Maps knew)…we have arrived at our top floor apartment in the 6th Arrondissement in Paris! We have a view of the Eiffel Tower and are walking distance from the Louvre. It’s a small place but WAY better than a hotel room.

This evening will be a trip to the grocery store and then maybe dinner out and some walking around. Not sure yet. Tomorrow is a “foodie walking tour of Paris”, probably the part of this trip Tim is most excited about. ???

Just before leaving Port-en-Bessin. I’m hanging out the top window there chatting with Dave. To the embarrassment of the kids.
Saint-Placide subway station. Looks like a newer one.
The view when we came out of the subway station. Our apartment is a ~5 min walk away.
This AirBnB host decorated with fresh flowers and gave us a bottle of wine. C’est bon!!
A view of the Eiffel Tower…although it’s not really easy to see. This is from an eye-level window, and from the balcony it’s more obscured. Still love this location…
I think we’re gonna like it here…
