Getting the most out of our 2 day tour pass, we started out our day back on the bus. The plan was to head over to Notre Dame, ride the bus over to the Champ Elysees, have lunch, walk over to see the Arc de Triumph, and then take the bus back to the hotel.

Walking up to Notre Dame
Us at Point Zero, the start of where all distances from Paris are measured
Goo Ma feeding little birds...they seem to like her! (More to come in the Venice blog)
Katie, on the other hand, can't seem to find any birds to come and eat her picked off the ground bread
The Louis Vitton House (with all things Louis Vitton)
Heading towards The Arc

A view of the stairs everyone had to climb to get to the top of the Arc! Thats a lot of steps!!
Me and Dave waiting for everyone to come down
We told everyone to look for us when they got to the top. Too bad we couldnt see them and they couldnt see us
After the Arc, we made it over to the other Arches, the Golden Arches of McDonalds for some coffee. This one even had a mini bistro with lots of goodies!
We finished up at McDonalds and then had to make a "mini mad dash" to catch the bus. We had exhausted the sights on the main tour route, so we decided to try and catch another route before our 2 day bus pass expired. This second route took us to St Germain and the Mont Parnasse areas before dropping us off back at our original bus stop by our hotel. (I have to take Dave's word on the sights on the 2nd tour route because I dozed in and out for this part of the ride...I was exhausted)
Making it back to the hotel, we rested up again and then regrouped to find a Chinese restaurant for dinner (my mom was dead set on getting a Chinese meal). Frommers suggested one in the Latin Quarter (where we had had driven through on our tour) so we decided to go check it out. It was a little bit of a hike, but turned out to be a pretty good Chinese meal in Paris. Even if it cost 2 euros for each single serving bowl of rice.
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel and called it a night. We had big plans to get up early and catch the train to Versailles.
