Spring Break, Day 2

Things to Do When Traveling with Puppy, on a Rainy Paris Day:
1.  Walk, aimlessly.  He has gear, I don't mind getting wet.
Bruno at Saint-Michel (above), waiting to cross a very busy intersection.
Bruno walked all the way to Notre Dame without complaining.  Good boy, Bruno!

2.  Museums are a great place to be on wet afternoons, but as he is not allowed, I decided to think of the city as a living, breathing, pulsating museum.

For art is everywhere, with the ghost of Louis XIV lurking.  I just have to pay attention.

3.  Take a ride on the Batobus!
It stops at 8 different points along the Seine, offers Paris from a different perspective. 
For 15 Euros, you can simply hop-on/hop-off when inspired.

Besides, the Batobus has some sort of heating, so Bruno who was beginning to shiver, had a chance to rest, and recover.

One last thought on the genius of Batobus-ing on a cloudy day?  So much better for your skin!  I won't be caught here on a sunny day with all that UV light pouring through the glass windows and roof!

Rested & just about recovered...
4. Go ahead, walk some more!

5.  Wining and Dining
OYSTERS?  I don't think so.
Bruno says- Yay, cheese & bread!
         
Bruno says- Yay, more cheese and tomatoes and bread!
(Two thumbs up especially for Les Deux Magots where we were so warmly welcomed, and heartily fed.  I had always thought of this establishment as a tourist trap, and was happy to be proven wrong today. Bon Appetite!)
Les Deux Magots, 6 Place Saint-Germain des Pres, 75006
