BANDU

Today we started out with the goal to put our lock on the bridge at Pont des Arts.  We got off the metro and walked around the garden area right outside of the Louvre, Jardin Tuileries.  This park reminded me of the Great Park in Orange County (a finished version.)  There were a lot of cool statues, fountains and ponds.  It rained today so the park was fairly empty.  It was nice walking around in the not crowded post-rain park.

Couldn't get her shoe back on :(

We walked up the street to the Opera and back down the street (got macaroons on the way), ending up at a bridge (not sure which is Pont des Arts) there are lots of bridges with locks on them.  But we will know where the lock we left is; it is on the bridge right out of the Jardin Tuileries on the 13th panel, its 2013 after all!  Udara took some cool pictures of the lock on the bridge. 

Miam! Miam!

Udara's raspberry & my chocolate macaroon!

So explination for what I carved into the lock:
1. BANDU= Bethany and Udara
2. Homance= Female equivalent of a bromance

Today there was also a second spider sighting.  A few days ago I found a spider on the shower curtain and it got away....I was kind hearted enough not to tell Udara until after she showered.  I spared her from the thoughts of a spidery death I had while I showered.  Today Udara found the spider again...freaked out and came to get me to 'take care of it.'  Couldn't find it again.  Now she refuses to shower until we find it....she is truly embracing the French culture.
