Breakfast at the hotel. Filling enough. Cereal, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, croissants, bread, coffee, tea. Not much more needed.
Took the Metro to the Museum of Art and History of Judaism. Wasn't permitted to take pictures inside the place. A free audio guide was included with admission so we listened to a lot of interesting information about not only French Jews but other Jewish communities from Europe and the Mediterranean. Problem with the guide, however, was that the numbers it referred to were often not posted. We managed and learned alot. They have an excellent bookshop/store, too. We decided to walk to the nearby Picasso Museum, not realizing that it is now closed for renovations, because the pass book and signs never said anything about it being under renovation until 2012. As we left that area, it started to rain. We stood under an overhang, watching the rain and HAIL, knowing it would probably end soon. Continued walking and it rained more, but we stayed out in it so we could get to the closest Metro station.
From there, we took trains to Montparnasse Tower, a 200 meter tall skyscraper that has a 360 degree inside observation area to view the city of Paris. There is also an outside observation deck at the top where a helicopter can land if necessary. Of course, we were up there, too.
We decided to take the Metro back to the hotel area and then figure out what to have for dinner. Most restaurants were not open yet (open at 7PM) so we went into a market to buy something to take back to our room. We already had wine that my friend gave us so would have a good dinner.
Flight home tomorrow. I'm planning to post other pictures online when I get a chance.
Before we went to breakfast, I asked Steve to give me "valuables" to lock in the suitcase. This hotel doesn't have safes in the room and charges for lock boxes, so we just lock up the computer and other items in my suitcase. Passports are locked up in Hotel Safe for no charge.
Usually I put his whole bag in the suitcase but asked him for just what I had to add to the suitcase "safe." I took his camera and he said the only other thing was his PDA. It wasn't in his bag. Unusual for it not to be there. The last he saw it was a couple of days ago when he was hotsyncing it and fixing some stuff on it.
When we came into hotel last night, there was a message that we thought couldn't be for us so gave it back to desk clerk. Steve realized this morning that it might have something to do with the PDA so asked about. Yes, it was a call from The Phone Store, near an area where we were yesterday. Message said to call by 7PM last night. Couldn't have called anyway because we didn't get back to hotel until almost 10PM. Our desk clerk tried calling this morning, but no answer. Steve checked online to see if there was an email or something else for contact, but all he found out was that they were closed on Sunday. Our desk clerk said they will continue calling even after we leave hotel tomorrow morning at 10AM. Hopefully it can be shipped to him. I've asked my friend here in Paris to take care of it if the store won't.
We think it fell out of his bag when he was taking out his camera yesterday. Fortunately, an honest person probably thought it was a Smart Phone (which we don't have yet) so took it to a phone store. That person was able to check the calendar and saw that we were staying at this hotel. It's good that I always Repeat an event if it's for more than one day.
It will be interesting to get the whole story.
