2nd try at Musée d'Orsay

Today we tried to go to the Musée d'Orsay again. We still ended up having to wait in line for nearly an hour. It was packed, and the entire 2nd floor is being renovated, so all of the Impressionist pieces were scattered around the first floor. Oh well... at least we saw a lot of pieces in at the Impressionism exhibit at the Frist in Nashville at Christmas!

After struggling through the Orsay, we went to the Marais neighborhood where we had falafel and shawarma at Rick Steves' (and evidently also Lenny Kravitz's) recommended L'As de Falafel (Ace of Falafel). We ate our lunch in the courtyard of nearby Historical Library of Paris. We toured the Revolution section of the Carnevalet Museum... interesting.

We bought tickets from an SNCF boutique for our day-trip to Giverny tomorrow. We decided to go scenic by riding the bus back to the rue Cler area. We got a little container of ice cream and ate it on the Champs du Mars.
