Walking and shopping

Today we started out walking around Montmartre. At lunch time, we went back to the apartment and then Jeff and I went out to Champs Elysees by ourselves to shop all by ourselves. We started at Dpam where I got a few clothes for the kids, then to Ducati Paris so Jeff could get a sticker for his bike. From there we went to Cartier to look at wedding bands. Jeff said I could get the nice one that I really liked. I was so excited! They served us Coke (offered champagne) and treated us like royalty. It was fun :) It will be extra special because we bought it together in Paris and I will always remember the experience. It is a simple platinum band. Pictures later, of course. From there I had to skip the other kids' stores because Jeff took away my credit card.. Hahaha! We had to stop back at NafNaf because they forgot to give me the jewelry I had purchased last week and lucky for me, the sales person had set it aside for me so the manager knew I had really left it behind. We walked down some super fancy street full of snobby stores like Hermes and Chanel. We found a Metro station and stupid me, I chose a different metro stop to get home because it was higher. Turns out, the trains never go uphill so it just meant I got to hike up more stairs to get out. The sign says it was 30 meters, but I'd bet it was more like a mile. Sheesh! I was glad to be out of that. Then, Mom and I went shopping for fabric, but it was boring so we shopped at a super market instead. WAY more fun! We came home and had tortellini for dinner. Tomorrow is Disney Paris! WOO HOO!!
