A mixed-up day

The boys kindly let us sleep in this morning, and after brunch we got ready to go visit my friend Mary and her family in the close-in Paris burbs. Turns out I had failed to get her home phone, so the plan for us to call her from the train station to be picked up turned into us waiting at the train station for 90 minutes then heading back to Paris. Drat. We saved the day by going to the Gare de Lyon, the prettiest of Paris' remaining stations, and having afternoon tea at their historic restaurant, Le Train Bleu. We then took a stroll down the Promenade Plantée, an old elevated railroad that's been converted to a wonderful linear park. The boys even got to ride a smart car on a carousel! After, we had a lovely dinner at Au Metro by Daumesnil before heading home. The boys are out cold, Betsy's working, and I'm going to call it a night. Sorry for the delay getting more pictures up, but I'll get some done before next weekend when we head to France's mid-Atlantic coast for the Toussaint holidays. It's 10 days, but we have to stay here for the first three while Betsy works. Then we'll stay at this place for 4 nights and maybe here for the next few. What do you think?
