December 26, 2001
We stopped at a bank and bought 2 Euro starter kits - I gave some of the coins
to people I work with. The front of the coins are the same in all 12 member
countries, but the back is unique for each country. The Euro goes into effect
as currency January 1, 2002 (it has been available as a financial instrument
since 1999).

Ticket
for entry to the Louvre
|
We headed to the Louvre today for our second visit. We got a bit of a late start.
My feet are killing me - I'm glad we're leaving in two days. We started at noon
and didn't get a pop, apple tart and a seat 'til 4pm. The lines have grown long
- we're glad we got in when we did, as we only waiting about 10 minutes.
We crossed the Siene in the cold wind and drizzle and walked down Rue St. Peres
to Palladio, a store that sells Italian goods; Aviva bought a nice piece of
yellow Murano glass on sale (its the end of the season, apparently).

We walked around after that in a shopping area in the 6th that we hadn't shopped
before.
We ate at Dedicace Cafe, which was very nice.
