Last day on my own!

Well tomorrow I join the EF folks for the official orientation . . . the reason for coming in the first place.
I over did it today while in the Museum de Army I thought I felt the beginning of a blister so put some moleskin on my right foot. Got back to the Hotel this evening, right foot OK, large blister on left foot. :-)
The museum is housed in the building in the foreground, two stories and includes French military history, such as it is from Napoleon's time up through Vietnam. You might be able to guess who's interned under the gold dome . . . Napoleon.






This give you some idea of the lavish surroundings of the tomb of Napoleon, all around the circular area are monuments to his victories, didn't see one for Waterloo. :-)






 After suspecting some foot problems decided to take a boat ride up and down the Seine . . . very enjoyable. Rode by the Louvre, the De Gaulle Royal Palace, the Eiffel Tower and finally Notre-Dame. Asked a guy with a nice camera to take the photo and when he responded in English I remarked, Oh, you speak English to which he responded not really its Australian. :-) So I said back well we are three peoples divided by a common language and he agreed.
