paris: day 4

on monday we took a chocolate and pastry tour

to be honest, it was kind of a let down.

you don't get nearly enough chocolate for the amount of money you pay for the tour.

my suggestion is to just set aside a chuck of money,

take the metro to the saint-germain-des-pres stop,

and wander around on your own.

also, most of the chocolate they offered was dark chocolate.

i don't like dark chocolate.

but we ended up stopping in saint-suplice

which wasn't originally on our itenerary but i secretly wanted to do.

after the chocolate tour we headed over to invalides to check out napoleon's tomb

that man had a major case of little-man syndrome

really, is this necessary?

next we lounged for a while in the little park area in front of invalides

then we were off to admire pont alexandre iii

doorway to the grand palais - breathtaking

our last activity of the day was a stroll down champs-elysees

where we saw some break dancers

who wouldn't last a second against american break dancers

but they were fun to watch none-the-less

and then on to l'arc de triomphe
