Paris - finally a great croissant

Nice day in Paris, blue skies as opposed to the rain that greeted us yesterday. The flight from EWR to CDG on Air India was fine - the security guard at EWR said to us "first time on Air India? (Yes) - well GOOD LUCK" - so werent sure what to expect at first, but it was comfortable - as comfy as an overnight flight can get anyway. Slept from about 2pm to 6pm, went out for a walk in the rain and dinner, then slept from 10pm to 9am. Grabbed a croissant and coffee at a local place - they are so much better than the air filled versions in the US.

I did the usual tourist things - Eiffel tower, Arc de Triomphe, Pantheon, Hammam at the Mosque. Actually it was Miney who did the Hammam de la Mosquee de Paris at the recommendation of another guest at our hotel. I wish that the Western world embraced this type of communal bathing - it seems to me to be a very relaxing custom that would de-stress a bunch of wound up people that I know ....
