Today was a great day. We finally ventured to the Right Bank! Some highlights in pictures:

Port de Vanves Flea Market: Chose this "smaller, low key" market over huge Clingancourt, but over 200 vendors didn't feel small to us! I bargained for a leather Texier messenger bag (love it!) and Drake got some great postcards of Charles Lindberg (about whom he is reading at the moment).

Walked through through the Tullieries after lunch and tea at A Priori Thé, then rode our bikes up Ave. Champs-Elysses and rode back down Rue Faubourg-Saint Honoré to look at the closed couture shops (sadly, we were forced to window shop, as it was Sunday).

Look who Drake found!


Monet at L'Orangerie, my favorite museum so far.

Beautiful gardens at Palais Royal.

We think we're going to have to tackle the Louvre tomorrow...but only for a quick trip to say hi to Mona. And maybe Musée Cluny/Moyen Ages? Can't believe we've been here almost a week, and Friday seems too soon!
