Hi, everyone, this is Alexa. Your daily update and pictures are coming in a little bit. Anyway, today we went to the Musee d'Orsay (Mom was very happy), the Pantheon (Dad and I were very happy) and Luxembourg Gardens (Ben was very happy). But we'd heard about a place on Ile St. Louis that apparently has the best ice cream in Paris from the guide. I'd been wanting to try the ice cream since we got here. And, at Luxembourg Gardens, they were advertising a ton of ice cream. Well, we were going to the Pantheon next, and it was close enough, so we decided we'd go there after dinner... But then Ben kept saying he was too tired... and we'd go tomorrow... Sob... After dinner, though, it was close enough, Ben had energy... For the record, the guide's right. That ice cream is fantastic, great, and insert other positive adjectives here.
And, since Mom and Ben sat out going to the Crypt, here's my report on the Pantheon - simply awesome. The murals on the top floor were beautiful, and it was really cool to see the graves of people who'd made such an impact on history. Though, in the end, we never got to see the Curies - the maps of the Crypt are confusing, and they weren't marked on it. Still, you can tell someone who likes theatre was there already - A bouquet of flowers was on Victor Hugo's grave, and a rose was on Voltaire's. Plus, we were tired already and only saw a couple spots before going upstairs again. Ah, well.
See you when we get home!
