A Relaxing Day in Paris 1/4

Today was our last day in Paris. We had a wonderful time just relaxing a little and taking the city at a little slower pace. We slept in a little and it was marvelous. Man I've missed sleeping. We checked out of our hotel and headed back to see the Sacre Couer in the day time. It was beautiful. We hiked up a ridiculous number of steps (my poor knee) and got to see inside of it, though we couldn't take pictures.
Afterwards we had a lovely time just wandering around the area. We did some last minute souvenirs for friends and family and had a  marvelous brunch. YUM!
Next we decided to go see the Coliseum which was very cool, but a little creepy. It was cool that I got to see where a few of my favorite authors (Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas) were buried. 
After exploring that area for a few minutes it started to rain so we headed back to our hotel to pick up our luggage and catch our train back to Rotterdam.
We are now on the train in first class! So fancy. We actually aren't sure how that happened, but apparently we booked first class home. Oh well. Free WiFi baby! I can't tell you how hard it is to find               Internet in Europe.
I'm excited to relax tonight at Coletta's house. Her lovely husband will have dinner ready for us when we arrive. Tomorrow we are going to explore Rotterdam a bit. Monday I am off to Amsterdam!
