Day 2

Well today was a fun filled adventure through the gardens of the Louvre for lunch, where enjoyed our sandwiches from our nearby bakery.  After our lung we moved past the Louvre across the Seine to the Musee d'Orsay.  For a few hours we enjoyed not only the magnificent structure of the museum itself, but two special exhibitions (one of Rodin, one of Italy represented by a variety of artists).  Along the way we were able to see many pre-impressionism, impressionism, and post-impressionism pieces of work, including some done by Claude Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir.  With sore feet and after a bottle of water we head back to the hotel to rest.  

For dinner we took the Metro to Place Monge and ate at our first authentic French restaurant, Auberge Le Pot de Terre to enjoy a three course meal with a bottle of wine.  All in all it was a great day where we saw a museum which was new to us, found an awesome row of restaurants, and returned to our hotel full and very happy.
