08 June - Vincennes and Paris

   Our last full day in France.  I remained in a bit of a funk unable to access email and feeling too isolated.   However, John walked to the Internet Cafe that was closed yesterday and it was open and our connections worked just fine there.  He checked our flight information and all things are fine for that.  This is a relief for me.  Later in the day we took the bus to the same Internet Cafe and posted the blog and replied to what emails we could.  I felt so much better then! 

   From there we went into Paris and awaited the lighting of the Eiffel Tower at 10pm.  Actually, it was still a bit light but it was magical we enjoyed that.  I asked a young man to take our photo and then we took a group photo of he and his friends for them.  They were a lovely group of Brazilians!  After that five minute event we walked to a nearby cafe and had a delicious shrimp and avocado salad, our last meal in Paris for now.  We saw the 11pm sparkle and then took the Metro back.  We took a taxi from the Metro back to the Royal Regency because it was too late to walk and now we are headed to bed.  A quiet day but successful too since we had news from home.
