The last few days, I've visited several museums, including
Institut du Monde Arabe, afterwards a walk to Berthillon for ice cream & Place de la Bastille for sightseeing
Cite nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration
Bois de Vincennes
On Saturday I visited
Invalides and the Musee de l'Armee, with a completely renovated WWI & WWII section
Musee des Egouts, a fascinating look at sanitation & water treatment in Paris' sewers
Musee du Quai Branly, a museum of contemporary Oceanic, American, African & Asian art (complete with a necklace from Bafia! ha!)
My parents finally arrived in Paris yesterday morning. We walked to the Grand & Petit Palais, which have been closed for renovations for years. We tried to continue at the Orangerie (site of Monet's waterlillies) but it was first Sunday of the month free day & the line was long. So we wandered through the Tuilleries gardens & took a bus home for a rest. Today we're attempting the Orangerie again, and perhaps the Marais.

Glad to see you are enjoying your time in Paris and your mom and dad arrived safely! Tell all we said hi!
Be careful of those steps :-)
