Today we had a great continental breakfast, which consisted of croissants, bread, eggs, bacon, etc. We headed off to the Louvre, by Métro. We cut in line so the wait was about 2 hour. We saw Mona Lisa and a few other famous sculptures and paintings before heading to the Tour Eiffel. We walked through the Tuileries and Place de la Concorde to reach the Métro. The wait for the Tour Eiffel was dramatically shortened by successfully cutting in line again. We finished seeing the Tour Eiffel and rushed back to the hotel all in one hour. At the hotel we caught a bus to Versailles. Versailles was pretty big, so it took the rest of the afternoon to see it. We went back to the hotel to change for dinner, we had a couple of hours. Dinner, at Les Grands Marches in the Place de la Bastille, was the best I've had yet. I ordered Le Chateaubriand au Grill, avec Béarnaise and a Pinacolada, which was very strong. La Scala, the discotheque, was very fun. We stayed until 1:50 in the morning and had to take a taxi back to the hotel. This is a day I will never forget.
