So the Metro we explored. The first place we ended up at was the Paris zoo. We spent a few hours wandering the gardens and exhibits of a zoo that has a history dating back to 1890's. A fascinating stroll.

As we left the zoo, we came across a Smart Car store with an interesting sport version of the little square box, which is oh so popular here.
















From there we went by Metro off the the highest building in Paris - Montparnasse -There we went up to the 56th floor and got some amazing pics of the whole Paris area. We even went up onto the heliport on the roof (59th floor) which for those of you who know Michelle, was a very big and brave step.





















Again we had a snack looking out over the city from high in the sky... and after watching the city get dark, off we went to take a river cruise by the lights of the city.
Getting back home by 11pm and feeling good that we seemed to have mastered the Paris subway has us feeling good about tomorrow... where will we go next, who knows. Our evening ended with a bottle of wine in our room and a can of ravioli heated on the stove. It was another great day.
