I liked this statue on the side of the buildingWe spent our last day in Paris at home in the apartment packing up and working out how we were going to organise ourselves to get to the airport on time tomorrow. The kids refused to go anywhere. They watched cartoons and picked fights with each other. I went out for a couple of hours down to Les Halles to look for some souvenirs and was horrified to see the stuff in the tourist shops there was almost double the price of the souvenirs at the Louvre shops.
Personally we're quite impressed with ourselves that we lasted the distance. Travelling is hard work and travelling with kids, well, I think we expect alot of them, maybe too much, and it causes alot of conflict. It'll be interesting when we get home and hear what the kids have to say to others about their experiences. I'll be keeping my ears open to listen. Who knows what anxieties they have. You can't imagine they would have much to worry about but their day to day behaviour shows up that they get stressed too.
