The next morning, we had our bus tour of Paris. It covered most of the highlights of Paris, including L'Opera, the Louvre, the Pantheon, Luxemburg Gardens. We had photo stops at Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower at the Palais de Challiot. After the morning tour of Paris, we went to Versailles and had lunch near the chateau and embarked on out tour of the Chateau. There was an exhibit of thrones from all over the world. I was not too impressed with this and saw is mostly as a nuisance because it took up so much space. It was a wonderful experience to visit Versailles with my family and some very close friends. The rest of the afternoon was spent near Notre Dame in the Latin Quarter. Claudia, Stephen and I skipped out on the Cathedral in an attempt to go into Saint Chapelle. The line there was too long, though. We walked across the river to Shakespeare and Company, an English book-store. I bought The Great Gatsby, and got the famous stamp. Then the Tenacious Three crossed the river Seine, snapping pictures at every step. Once back, we strolled around the Cathedral, an incredible structure. That night we went to Montmartre. After going through the Basilica, Sarah and I bought a few paintings and had crepes at La Boheme, a cafe on the Place du Tetre.
