Paris, France Part II

Translated by SFT  


Almostall the famous attractions are in the vicinity of Paris.  Touring Paris by bicycle is suitable for theyoung and the old. 

At everyMRT exit in Paris, there’s a map of the city with MRT routes and tourist spotsclearly labeled.

From the map above, you can see most streets in Paris run in a differentdirection. So if you unfortunately get lost, what you can do is go to the MRTstation to make use of the map since the map will show your current locationand where you want to go.

We had visited the Louvre Museum and the PompidouCentre on our first day trip in Paris. Therefore, we will spend time in the Orsay Museum on our Paris second day trip.

After I studied the map, I thought we could start with the Pompidou Centre, continueto the Louvre Museum, the Concord Square, the Orsay Museum, theMilitary Museum, the Eiffel Tower
,theArc, the Grand Arc, the Arc, the Opera House, and then return to the Pompidou Centre.  With such a route, we would have biked arounddowntown Paris. After lunch near the Pompidou Centre, we then could explore theOrsay Museum for the rest of the afternoon.  A wonderful plan, don’t you think? 



Howcome I could not find the entrance to the Orsay Museum?

Alas!The Orsay Museum is closed on Mondays.


We would have to come back tomorrow.

Since it’s a shiny day, we might just pedal around downtown. 


The Pompidou Centre (It’s surely the most famous refinery in the world!)

Unpredictable weather- it showered. After shower, a semi-circle shape of rainbow appeared in the sky.


Lots of new couples came here to have their wedding pictures.

Chuanand Yi also biked here for our honeymoon.


The ARC


The Grand Arc   



The Opera House

Time togo home for dinner.


Today’s chef wouldbe the person biking from Taiwan to France- Yi.



Kahina took off from work early to prepare Italian style desserts- superdelicious!


Let me tell you a story about Kahina. She is a lively person andshe likes traveling.  She once joined atravel group walking in the Sahara for a week. She had taken no shower for 7days and slept with other group members in a crowded tent. With such anexperience, Kahina is particularly empathetic to us.


Thibaut’s bike was stolen in America, buthe insisted on finishing his remaining trip on foot. He went to Mexico where hemet Kahina.

Because of Kahina, we had fully rested and also had an opportunity fordifferent views of Paris. Two days after we departed Paris, she also sent us goodnews via email – One of her friends in London is willing to provide us a placeto stay for free.

Thank God for arranging so many angels in our biking trip around theworld.  Let us pray that all the angelswho have helped us on the road would be double blessed by God.

 
Amen.
