Nothing interesting happened today prior to my leaving. I was still really sick, but I promised myself that I would bring home some stuff from the patisserie to give to my family.

I have to confess, that this was my goal in Paris. I'm not a big fan of the Eiffel Tower like my travel buddy Pesta, but I really enjoy museums. And Louvre is not just some museum. It's THE MUSEUM.
