David Around the World: October 30, 2014 Paris, Montmartre, Shopping, Champs-Elysees

Late morning, ear plugs. I found some ear plugs from my flight from Rio to Amsterdam. I used them last night and it helped with the early morning people going down the stairs and the dog prancing around after their master leaves. I can't wait to leave this place.
I had a great breakfast of a nice fat veggie omelet, salad, bread (carbs), mangos and expresso. I'm kind of getting use to the european style of coffee. I just have to learn to sip it slow. There was a couple of nice ladies that sat next to me from Sweden (except they had dark hair). They ask for me to take a picture of them so I obliged. So, I ask if they would take one of me on my camera, since I haven't really had any self portraits on this trip. I liked it so well I made it my new FaceBook profile picture.
After breakfast, I decided to start buying some gifts and souvenirs. I know a few people would never forgive me if I didn't bring back then back something. So I went down to Champs-Elysees and found some cool places off the beaten tourist path. I was getting kind of hungry, so decided to by-pass the over priced cafes and just go into a grocery store and buy some fruit, nuts and a Perrier (when in Rome). So I found an empty bench on the Champs, turned on Stan Getz and voila a Paris picnic. This shopping stuff is really taxing. I think I will just hangout for awhile longer.
I'll figure out the rest of the night.
Tomorrow, my last full day in Paris is Museum Day. Ive been to the Louvre, the last time I was here over 20 years ago. I really don't want to see mummies, old pre 1700 paintings of nude women, hunting dogs, expressionless faces of people and stand behind hundreds of people trying to see the dinky Mona Lisa. For me its the Museum de Orsay and Age Of Impressionism: Monet, Manet, Gauguin, you know all those dudes.
