Paris 2021 Day Thirteen

This was the day to get our COVID tests for our upcoming reentry into the US. Lucy arrived in time to join us in our errands near the flat. While we waited for the results from the pharmacy, we walked to the Place du Pantheon, where several wedding parties were gathered for Saturday weddings at the Mairie du 5e Arrondissement. With a negative test logged into a wallet on my phone, we headed to the Jardin du Luxembourg to wait for Lucy's GW friend, Abi, to arrive. We made our way to Monoprix on the Boulevard Sainte-Michel to buy some treats to pack. Abi came up short trying to get a Pass Sanitaire, so we ate takeaway from the Rue Mouffetard instead of at a restaurant.

That's the end of the day, but not quite the end of the adventure.
