Sisi playing on the Philip Stark furniture and outside playing in the water near the giant gold pot...
security was mad for that.
The cafe on top of the Pompiduo, see the giant gold pot,
appropriately desiged and decorated for the museum.
The photo on the right is another that makes me laugh, Gimmy pointing, my mom reading a map and Sisi sleeping with her poor little head falling to the side..

Photo on Right: Entering the Galeries Lafayette
Here is a photo with part of the dome a decorative architectural elements, and Lauren and Michael checking out the theater style center.
There was a mob of people trying to get into the building at the same time we arrived, which made it impossible to shop or even walk! So we ran to the roof top for some fresh air and to admire the views.
The back of the Opera House
Sisi, Gimmy, me and the Eiffel Tower
Laurens Birthday Party!
Gloria had bought a fresh strawberrys and cream cake from the famous Tanty's bakery
(which was a block away from our hotel)
I cant even explain how amazing tastey that little cake was!
Sisi thinks its for her..
Lauren opening her presents.
Me, Sisi and Lauren
Later than night, Lauren and Michael and Gimmy and me went out to the canals of Paris where it is the new place for locals to hang out in the evening and at night.
We first walked along the canals. At night time there are tons of people sitting along the canal eating a drinking, playing music, games and just talking. It was a cool experiece.
Then we found Chez Prune, by chance, which turned out to be a very popular local bar. We had a few drings and asked the friendly bartender a bunch of questions and he pointed us to a great resturant where we went for dinner.
Hotel Du Nord. The resturant were we had dinner, we were the ONLY tourists in the place, the waiter was very nice and the food was delicious! After the dinner, we went back to Chez Prune and talked some more with the bartender.
Then the next morning, hung over and all, we ( Gimmy, Sisi and I) head out for the next part of our road trip and in the direction of home.
