saturday in paris...

our last day in paris and we are up and at it.  we decide to venture across the river.  breakfast...a little shopping and then the pompidou (what kind of a name is that?)

i never tire of this site...today the camera finds notre dame from the "backside"...and a pretty one at that....
a little breakfast at the sarah bernhart cafe and we are off...

we take a little side trip into one of the many parks for water (fountains all over the city).... 
a stop in the park makes for a photo op and the famous "one handed extended arm shot"
this is ginny's girl...a little coy
she is a shopping fool...NOT!  we did make a few stops and acquired some FANTASTIC  items to share with folks at home...
off to the pompidou...do do do do....i cannot say pompidou with out singing it....
modern art... 
strange as expected...did i say modern art?
so serious...
one of our favorite stops was this one...in the background is gilles (we named him that)...he appears in many positions and outfits in the exhibit... 
this is zen gilles...does anyone else think his feet are ridiculously BIG?
ah and here is gilles en noir...
enough of gilles...ginny loves this stuff...takes it all in...
love this place...

photo op...
ginny's turn...
view from the fourth floor of the pompidou...that is sacre coeur in the distance....
took some time to walk along the seine....love this woman... 
the flower markets call ginny's name...yep that is a kir...quite a flower that one...

the walk back to the hotel makes for one last pic of notre dame...in the morning we leave for germany...
