Ile St-Louis

Spent this afternoon in Paris wandering about the area around Notre Dame with Pam and Susan today, mostly on the little island behind it known as Ile St-Louis.

Checked out an art store (surprisingly, none of us bought anything)

And the book sellers in the classic dark green booths along the Seine, where we found a few vintage magazines to take home. 

Not everyone likes the locks on the bridges

We did a little souvenir shopping and had a delicious apple tart with Bertiilion ice cream in the late afternoon, sitting in a cafe overlooking a busy street corner. 

I'm having an early night tonight, heading out of the city on a major excursion quite early tomorrow morning.
