Reims - Version 1

We have a late train ride from Reims to Paris (good thing as Phil and Dean stayed out until the wee hours) - and probably narrowly avoided being on some milk carton... But we explored more of the city (we will be back later on in the tourney). Their cathedrale as well as the palace museum were excellent - I have seen a lot of great churchs and this one was truly spectacular!

By the time we were heading towards the train station, it was raining some, but of course, by the time we got to the train station it was sunny again. We arrived a bit too early, but it was fine as was the ride into Paris. When arriving in Paris, we had some issues with the photos for the Paris navigo pass (metro/train) - some retries and issues, but made it through (one issue we didn't realize was it took 8 minutes for new passes to be activated).

We got to our new Paris hotel (nice but small, and an elevator) and headed out to explore (and have dinner). Found a great place, but really needed a reservation, especially for 5 (Phil is still recovering). So we hit a local place (Tarmac) - which would become Rishaun's favorite place for some unknown reason (Pizza and Ice Cream).
