Got up around 9AM. Tracy was still a bit sick from a head cold but started felling better as the day went on. We took the Metro to the Basilique de Sacre’ Coeur. We found a small café and had breakfast. We went to one of the many souvenir shops and purchased a new hat for me and Tracy bought a Metro station umbrella. When we arrived at the base of the hill there were many Africans hustling people with a simple string and finger trick. I would have nothing to do with it. We took the tram up the hill. Once there we took pictures of the Paris scenery. We went inside the basilica, no pictures allowed. We scrolled trough the village on the hill, stopped, and had a drink. There were many artist drawing portraits of people, we declined several times to have ours done. We visited a small artist area in the middle of the village. We found the Dali museum and spent time there. Afterwards we walk down the Montmartre steps. We found a nice restaurant and had pizza and a salad. We started looking for the Moulin Rouge. We found it in the middle of the sex shop district. Took a picture, not impressed, should go back at night. We went back to the hotel for a break. We slept for a few hours. I called Troy but he was still in Tripoli, he will be in Paris on the 1st. We got motivated around 6PM to go out. The elevators are working again. We went back to the Galleries Lafayette to shop around. I took pictures inside with the small camera. We went looking for the Fondue restaurant. We had the delicatessen fondue. It was pretty good. Got back to the hotel and updated the journal and had Champagne.
