Our game Sunday was an easy win over Meineke and Shawn had a good game in the net, but Adrian won the pelt for his nonchalant backhand goal in the third period.
Shawn, thanks for bringing back some beer from Colorado. Some of it was ok....
...but not this. A pink label should have been a clue.
PAUL is a French family bakery and Patisserie since 1889 and there are 250 units in France and over 30 shops outside France. I had lunch at this specific spot in Rouen this past week.
I am back home and am able to take my time and go through my pictures. Since I didn't post many shots from Nice back when we were there I will post some now. Nice is where we first met Sandra and her red polka-dot umbrella.
Can't leave out the "creepy guys" towering over the Place Masséna (the pedestrianised Italianate central square).
Mounted on 10-meter poles are seven seated male figures made from white fiberglass. They represent the 7 continents. At sundown, the “Buddhas,” as the Niçois affectionately call them, slowly change colors, individually—emerald, fuchsia, deep blue, day-glo orange—as if they are having a metaphysical chat.
The setting, weather, food, drink and company were most enjoyable.
Both nights our group took over the lobby of our hotel.
It is hard to believe that our trip is coming to an end. Here we are in the back of the bus ready for our last ride - off to the airport where we will "jump off" the bus and "hop on" a couple planes back to KC.
After our tour at the Louvre several of us went to Montmartre. Montmartre is a hill (the butte Montmartre) which gives its name to the surrounding district. Montmartre is primarily known for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré Cœur on its summit and the nightclub district below. In the mid-1800s artists came to inhabit Montmartre and by the end of the century it became one of the principal artistic centers of Paris.
The Sacré-Cœur Basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, which is the highest point in the city.
The butte Montmartre is 130 metres high and provides quite a view of Paris.
The Moulin Rouge is downhill and to the southwest of the summit in the red-light district of Pigalle.
The Basilica of the Sacré Cœur can be seen a block from our hotel by looking down this street.
The Musée du Louvre is the world's most visited art museum, a historic monument, and a national museum of France. Nearly 35,000 objects from the 6th millennium BCE to the 19th century CE are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres.
The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch is located on the Place du Carrousel, just to the west of the Louvre.
Antoine, our guide from the morning bus tour offered to take us on a guided tour of the Louvre. He is a very intelligent and articulate man and a perfect example of an arrogant Frenchman. As we spent more time with him he lightened up a tiny bit and after our tour finished he was very helpful to direct us to our next destinations.
Finally, a little blue sky!
One of the first things on our tour on Thursday morning was the Paris Opéra - as it was only a couple blocks from our hotel. It is a grand landmark designed by Charles Garnier in the Neo-Baroque style, it is regarded as one of the architectural masterpieces of its time.
The Grand Palais is a large glass exhibition hall that was built for the Paris Exhibition of 1900. 
The Dome Church is part of Les Invalides in Paris, France, which is a complex of buildings in the city's 7th arrondissement containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France, as well as a hospital and a retirement home for war veterans, the building's original purpose.
The buildings of Les Invalides house the Musée de l'Armée, the military museum of the Army of France, the Musée des Plans-Reliefs, and the Musée d'Histoire Contemporaine, as well as the burial site for some of France's war heroes 
The Arc de Triomphe is at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The triumphal arch honors those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. On the inside and the top of the arc there are all of the names of generals and wars fought. Underneath is the tomb of the unknown soldier from World War I.
Here's a shot of the Eiffel Tower from the bus. The tower was built for the 1889 Paris Exposition
A new type of souvenir item first appeared at that Exposition in 1889, a palm-sized glass globe featuring the Eiffel Tower as the center piece with a ceramic base and fake snow.
