On our last day in Paris we continued our ride on the Hop On Hop Off bus.  We got off at the Gallerie Lafayette, which is a very large fabulous department store and went shopping.  I finally found a curling iron.  Susan bought her cologne and Barbara bought a few items.  Lola looked at shoes.  Then we rode the bus to the Eiffel Tower and took a boat ride on the Seine River.   I took lots of pictures.  We had a late lunch at Lorie’s and we all ordered French Onion Soup which was excellent.  Of course we had wine too.  Our waiter was a very nice young man named Florian (Flo).  He told us about a site on Facebook that he supports.  They are called The Motoring Monks and they participate in a fund raiser called the Mongol Ralley 2013.  They raise money for children cancer research.  Then we visiting three cathedrals and went home to dress for our final dinner at Aux Charpentiers.  By the way, the food pictures are for Barbara’s granddaughter Kendall.  Lola is still fighting with Yahoo to get her email on my computer.  Casey, her daughter, is helping her and finally Lola got on Yahoo and they asked her a security question.  And the question was to name the place she first met her husband and that is the same question she couldn’t answer correctly the first time. 

In the morning we got up and picked up our car from a rude French clerk at Eurocar.  The car rental place, Kemwell, did a fabulous job but the staff at Eurocar leaves a lot to be desired.  Susan went to get our car and she asked a clerk a question and he rudely said “Go find you car.”  The three of us were waiting in the parking garage freezing but finally Susan arrived with the car and we loaded up for the next leg of our trip.  I want to mention David, the very nice young man who picked us up from the airport and took us to pick up our car.  He was very couteous and very, very nice.  We all hugged him went he left.  It is very nice to meet a courteous young man.
