Karel: Paris je t'aime

Another cool couple of days in Paris. First evening we strolled through the grounds of the Louvre soaking up a gorgeous Parisian spring evening. Lay down by the fountain next to the Pyramide and watched the vapor trails across the sky. Nice to stop and reflect on our adventure so far. So proud of the kids and their ability to go with all the change, different beds, languages, foods, people - just brilliant. Followed up with a play in the Tuilleries before Metroing it home to our hostel near the Place de Republique.

We explored the Jardin Des Plantes on the Tuesday only to find that most of the museums are closed on Tuesdays - a shame as we were all prepped to check out the museum of comparative anatomy (my bro really recommended this). So we wandered around the small Zoo in the gardens before enjoying lunch in a little cafe and a lovely time in Mont Martre at the Sacre Couer.

We are now in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado with our friends Jim and Linda Sawyer and their boys Robbie and Michael. Spectacular scenery and heaps of activities for the kids in the YMCA park that we are staying in. Woke up to giant Elk on our front lawn this morning - no bears yet!
