Simone and family stayed in Paris overnight. Why? To spend the day shopping, bien sûr!
So the group had a leisurely breakfast before heading out on the Boulevard Haussmann for some window shopping. The group split into two entities, one with the goal of finding some quality musical instruments and, perhaps, pierce their ears. The other half decided on some general clothes shopping - even though such activities would doubtless wreak havoc on the state of already overpacked suitcases.
At the agreed time, the group met and headed to Simone's uncle's apartment for dinner.
It was a buffet style dinner, perfect for the group's very late arrival and the oldest kids in Simone's party were whisked away by their French cousins for an evening of revelry. Simone and the younger kids decided on returning to the hotel for some much needed rest - their flight would, after all, leave the next day.
And so everyone was happy or nearly so, after a full day of shopping and eating and drinking in the capital of France. Plus, the hotel had internet! So the kids who didn't go out drinking? They stayed up gorging on internet - they'd been deprived for nearly 10 days, les pauvres petits...
