Spring in Paris

We arrived in Paris Saturday morning about 30 minutes early. This gave us a little time to get some money before the shuttle picked us up to bring us to the hotel. We are staying at the Hotel Sezz which is in the 16th arrondissement, a half a block from the Seine and about 2 blocks from a metro station.
The weather has been typical for this time of year. A mix of sun and clouds with scattered showers. A light coat and an umbrella a perfect for walking around.
This morning we went for an hour run along the Seine and then under the Eiffel tower and through the Champs de Mars. We timed it perfect getting back just before it started raining. There were a lot of people out running this morning.

We spent the afternoon walking from the hotel on our way to the Musee de Orsay. After admiring the impressionist paintings we to the metro to the Bastille station were we had a wonderful French dinner with ile flottante for dessert. The might be nothing better!
