Today we walked down to the Trocadero area and took some more pictures of the Eiffel Tower. Afterwards we visited the Hotel des Invalides and saw Napoleon's Tomb, among other things. Most of our day we spent just walking around Paris and seeing some more of the city. We had lunch in a little cafe near the Ecole Militaire (where Napoleon went to military school). We didn't have time to see the Rodin or Orsay museums, so we hopped back on the metro and went back to our hotel. For supper we walked down to a nearby restaurant and then came back to the hotel to prepare for our departure tomorrow.

Our train leaves at 9 AM tomorrow, and we're expecting to arrive in Douarnenez around 3 or 4 PM. We're thinking we'll need to use a nearby internet cafe so that we can blog and check our email tomorrow evening.
