Day 2, Jetlag??t

Neither of us slept much last night so our energy levels were not so hot and we didn't feel much like setting the world on fire.  Therefore we movrd slowly and didn't make our way into the outside world until early afternoon.  It was still drizzeling off and on so we decided to stay close to the apartment and started off by going through the Musee Carnavalet which is dedicated to the history of Paris.  It occupies two mansions and has a permanent exhibit and often a temporary one.  We didn't spend much time there but I found the old shop signs very interesting.  We then visited two gardens - Jardin Francs-Bourgeois-Rosier, divided into sections with herbs, flowers, escallied trees and a childrens section and then the Garden at the Hotel de Sens which is very organized with box-elder divisions for the flowers.  Stopped at a little creperie on rue du Temple for an egg, cheese and ham gallette as we weren't very hungry.  Walked down to Saint  Gervaise- Saint Proteus as I'd never been inside it.  Has a world reknown organ which didn't look like much to us and was on the dreary side but had interesting stained glass as it looked like water colors that ran.  Saw the medieval wall and turret and returned toward home along the Seine for a short while,  Stopped at a Monooprix to pick up a few things and that turned what should have been a five minute trip into a good 30 minutes.  They carry everything known to man in a very illogical manner.  We got through the clothes, cosmetics and found the kleenex but had no luck with paper towels or toilet paper so we went downstairs to the food and went up and down lots of aisles before we came up with the few items we nneded.  Still no tp or paper towels so I went back upstairs to llok again with no luck.  We bought the items we had picked up and asked about the tp and aper towels and were told they were upstairs.  Back up and, finally in the far corner of the store found them.  Then we set off for home with our purchases which always weigh too much when you have to walk a block and climb two flights of stairs.  It's now raining instead of showering so I think we're in for the night and plan on a really good nights sleep.  Hope to get some pictures up tomorrow, but the icon which let me post them has disappeared.

Observation - it seems that every French child between birth and 3 or 4 has a pacifier in their mouth.
