Sunday PM

After mass there was an announcement in 3 languages that this was Heritage day with demonstrations at all cathedrals on the arts that went into building them Sant Sulpice was started in 1638 and took 130 years to build. there were stone cutters showing their skills in the court yard out side. After a little observation we walked to Jardine d' Luxembourg a block and a half away. We were looking for runch in the outdoor afe, but the lien was long and you got to it throught he Museum. looked like too much work. Wandered the park a little and ended up walking down the street to a bistro for Quiche and Creps. Had to walk off to St Michel to try to get a bus to Montmarte.A night mare ensued with missed busses, buslines closed for Sunday, Montmartobus drivers telling us our pass was no good, all trying to get to the Funicular to try to get to the top to Sacre Couer. Turns out the Funicular is not the best way at all. The Montmarto bus runs up and down the hills from Pigalle to Montmarte. Once we were up the Funicular we had to walk up the steps to SC. Once inside we got to observe the ceremony to retire the host for the night. After which we we walked the cathederal and back to the streets. Walked arounf the corner into the square previosly inhabited by all the classic artists, Talouse le' Treck, Monet, Degan et.al. Of all places we stopped at the Irishpub for a sandwich and beer. Found the Montmartro bus for the ride down the hills, at a very fdast speed to Pigalle. Found the 95 bus back to St Germaine des pres, where we found the 63 Bus (one of our favorites) back to our hotel. Time for a nap. After which it was off to one of the nice little bistros near our hotel for some authentic french street food. Mom had a salad w/ chicken, corn, etc, I had a tough piece of beef and a beer. Off to bed to try to get our body clocks a little more paresian.
