Day 2 in Paris

Our second day in Paris was as crazy as the first. We slowed down a little in the afternoon though just to recharge our batteries (I'm definitely burning out at this point, and VERY ready to come home). Today we hit the Musee D'Orsay, Sacre Coeur, Montmartre, and capped the whole trip off with a boat ride on the Seine.
Person:

In the Orsay one of the exhibits is a model of the entire Opera district of Paris, sunk below the floor and covered with a grid of transparent panels that you can walk on. This little girl was absolutely loving that, and was playing hopscotch on the tiles. She brightened our moods from the dreary Parisian weather. Outside the Musee.
Place:

It's tough to choose between Orsay and Sacre-Coeur, but I haven't written about many churches on the blog, despite having seen some amazing ones, so Sacre-Coeur takes it. It isn't as big as Notre-Dame, nor as flashy as Sainte-Chapelle, but I really enjoyed this church. It is relatively modern (completed in 1914), and is really quite gorgeous. I loved the domed architecture, which was reflected beautifully on the inside as well. There is a massive mural across one of the domes, and the others have some elegant sculptures that set them off. Most of the other cathedrals and churches I've seen on this trip were gothic or some variation thereof, and this was distinctly not. Unfortunately, they ask that you don't take photos of the inside, but it was equally impressive.

Food:

We stopped for a crepe in Montmartre at a restaurant that was serving them from a window. The guy was actually cooking them right there in the window, you just walked up, told him what kind you wanted, and he made it for you and handed it to you. The cook didn't skimp on the butter and sugar either, which made my American palette happy.
