For our last day in Paris we were limited on activities because lots of things were closed for New Year's day. We went back down to the Eiffel Tower to see it up close. The line for the elevator was probably about 2-3 hours long, so we decided that this view was good enough. Plus, with the wind, we could only imagine how frigid it was at the top.
After the Eiffel Tower, we went to the Musee d'Orsay- this is my absolutely favorite museum in Paris. Well, maybe anywhere. I'm a huge fan of impressionism and they have the best collection. Unfortunately, there's no photography inside so I have no pics of my favorite pieces.
The coolest view... Looking out through one of the clocks and there was a perfect view of
Sacre Coeur on Montmartre.
Same view from a window down the hall.
We walked down the Champs Elysees one last time. Most stores were closed because it was New Year's Day. (Definitely unlike here in the States.) But I did get my awesome giant cotton candy.
It was a great ending to a wonderful trip. The next morning, we had a fabulous 10 1/2 hour flight home. We had to fly all the way up over Greenland due to bad headwinds. There was lots of Tetris playing and TV watching- and no sleep.
