Day 2 in Paris

Because we stayed out so late the night before, we didn't get back into the city until around noon the following day.  We walked over to Notre Dame

and then headed over to Luxembourg gardens for lunch.  One of our favorite things about Luxembourg was sailing boats.

Then we wandered in a little further and found a puppet theater about to start a show.  We bought tickets and watched the show in French.  We were able to figure out what was going on even though we couldn't understand anything.  In a nutshell there was a chef who wanted to cook some bunnies.  He sent someone out to get him some.   They delivered the bunnies in a box outside of the restaurant.  Before the chef found that they had arrived, someone walked over and wondered why the rabbits were stuck in a box and set them free.  There were two different shows.  The second was very similar to the first but now instead of being on the street they were on a rooftop.  The chef didn't have anything to cook but then he found a kitten and decided to cook it.  He put it under a pot and while he left to get something, someone let the kitten out and put the mama cat underneath the pot.  The chef received a huge pouncing when he got back.  The little Parisian kids got such a kick out of it and just laughed and laughed.

Cute puppet theater

By the time we got out of the theater the skies were dark and foreboding so we walked quickly over to take a riverboat tour that we had purchased tickets for in advance.  It rained for the first 15 minutes of the hour long cruise but when the sky cleared up we had the entire boat to ourselves.  It was a great way to see Paris.
