Military History vs. Shopping

Today we went our separate ways. (But we're still married! -E) I went to tour the Army Museum and Napoleon's Tomb while Ellen went shopping. I wonder why she didn't want to see Napoleon' Tomb. It was very interesting and the Army Museum went on and on and on. Plenty of displays of guns, uniforms, knives, hand grenades and bombs. Not to mention short films of WWI and WWII action. Also paintings of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Did you know that Hitler only visited Paris once, in 1940, for 3 hours (and that was before double-decker tour buses -E). In the afernoon we again went to Luxembourg Gardens for the sun, fresh air and people watching. It really is a lovely park, though not too much in bloom yet. -A.
