All to soon it was time for us to leave and head back into Paris. We had such a great time and really want to come back someday. Disneyland Paris is such a wonderful place. I'm so glad that we had aもっと詳しく
Tired But Happy

We're on the RER riding back to Paris. I'm so glad that the train is not crowded and we're able to sit down. I'm so tired from all the walking we've done today but feeling so happy. Kathy looks tiredもっと詳しく
Time to Change

We just pulled in to the Nation train station. This is where we'll get off of the RER train and transfer to the Paris Metro. Each station that we pass brings us closer to the hotel.

We're on our platform and waiting for the Metro to come and take us home. The station is nearly deserted, because of the late hour, but, I must admit, I feel very safe. I know that Paris has a lot ofもっと詳しく
Almost There

It wasn't that long of a wait for a train to come. We've just passed the Saint-Ambroise station so we're nearly back to the hotel. Just a few more stops to go until our stop, Grands Boulevards.

It's Grands Boulevards! We made it back shortly before midnight so this has been a very full day and night. The hotel is, essentially, right at the subway exit. Right now, we just want to get back toもっと詳しく
A Late Start

We slept in today, which is fine while being on vacation, but it means that we're getting off to a late start. I'm of mixed feelings on this. On one hand, we should be relaxing on our vacation and notもっと詳しく
It's Here!

We didn't have to wait very long at all before a train pulled into the station. I really like the Paris Metro system. It's very efficient, organized and so clean.

The train we needed to transfer to arrived and we're on our way again. I'm surprised that this train is so crowded at this time of day. Doesn't anyone here go to work? Once again, I didn't get a seatもっと詳しく

We just got off the train at the Concorde station. It didn't take us very long to get here. Just a few minutes, in fact. We're both getting hungry so it's a good thing that we're nearly to theもっと詳しく
Walking

After coming out of the metro, it was just a short walk to Angelina's, the tea house that we're going to. This must be a well to do neighborhood because we're passing some fancy designer boutiques. Iもっと詳しく

Hot Chocolate

Rather than tea, I went with a cup of the famous Angelina hot chocolate. This has got to be the best hot chocolate I've ever had in my life! It's like drinking a melted candy bar of dark chocolate. Soもっと詳しく
Can't Get Enough

Not only did they give me a cup of the hot chocolate but a small pitcher with even more of it. In all, it was around two and a half cups. Even after that, I still wanted more. It's so delicious!
French Hot Chocolate Wins

Angelina is famous for their hot chocolate (le chocolat chaud en Francais), and is often cited as the best hot chocolate in Paris. I must say, French hot chocolate is nothing like what Americans thinkもっと詳しく
