La Butte

This morning we woke up late and headed straight to the train station to catch our Chunnel train to Paris. we grabbed a coffee at the station and sipped it while we flew under the English channel at around 200 kilometers per hour. Smmhhhh bliss! We found our way to our hotel here in Paris, laid on the bed for awhile, then headed out to hike to the top of Montmartre and see the Sacre Coeur and the last day of their annual wine festival. We forgot that we had no euros, so we hiked down to the Moulin Rouge to get some cash and take pictures, picked up an amazing dinner at a street stand, then walked back up the hill for some wine tasting and of course buying. We headed back to rest our feet, then decided to walk back to the bottom of the Montmartre area for some pastries and coffee, then back again. Tomorrow is more adventures, and maybe even more walking than today...though twice up and around the Montmartre Butte in a matter of hours must be some kind of record.
