Today the girls and boys went separate ways. Nancy and Pam went to the Louvre while Rick and I went to the Maritime Museum at the Trocadero. The girls enjoyed seeing master artist works and avoided the tourist crowds. Afterwards, they shopped and made their way back to the apartment.

The maritime museum was very interesting for Rick and I. Gadget people thrive in this atmosphere. The models were made by master craftsmen, going back to the 1500's. Rick is a model builder and found some scaled plans for a rare steam powered side-wheeler.

| Sorry for the blurry picture. The light was very low, no tripod and no flash. The detail was amazing. |
For dinner, we walked to the Rue Cler neighborhood and ate at The Petit Cler restaurant.
