Our flight landed at 9:30 a.m.  We breezed through immigration and took a taxi to our hotel.  We are staying at the Best Western Tour Eiffel Invalides.  Even though we were early we were able to get into our room.  It’s on the 6th (top) floor and faces the Eiffel Tower.  If the building across the street wasn’t there we would have a great view of it.

After we dropped our bags in the room we went down to wait for Sharyn and Holly.  Sharyn met Holly through the Rick Steves forum and they had already gotten together in Paris.  As we walked out the door, they were walking down the street towards us.  Great timing.  We hopped on the metro to go to Montmartre.  We had lunch at a place that Holly had been to, Chez Plumeau.

We went to the Painters Square and bought a watercolor to add to our travel collection.  Holly left and we walked a bit around Montmartre, taking in the spectacular views.

We then went to the Musée de Montmartre. 
Dinner tonight was at Cafe Constant.  It’s not too far from our hotel and comes highly recommended.  We took the metro to the stop near the Eiffel Tower and walked from there.

Holly never made it to the restaurant, but we were joined by June.  Sharyn met her through Holly.  The company, dinner and wine were superb.

It was time to call it a night.  We walked Sharyn to the metro and we went to the hotel to have a good nights sleep.
