September 14 II

I just managed an entire day in Paris and only spent $5.40. I have to make up for this obscenely priced hotel room. I suppose it's easy not to spend money when all you want to do is lay down on some grass. I did manage a little sluggish touristing. I visited the Hotel des Invalides, former home of Napoleon turned military hospital. Then I walked down the banks of the Seine. I think I only managed to take 4 pictures today. One of them was of a tree.

The best thing that happened today was my long chat with old man on a house boat. He said that my French was good...for an American. I'm not sure if he was a gypsy but in the future when I tell people this story, he will be. Don't contradict me.
