I hopped on the Metro and went to see the Louvre and buildings in the vicinity.  I only had about 2 hours before I had to head back.  Our rehearsal with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/maootayeck1\" target=\"_blank\">Mao Otayeck<\/a>, held in a local rehearsal studio, lasted for a few hours.  Afterwards, we went and briefly listened to some authentic Congolese pop music, complete with dancers, in a separate rehearsal space in the rehearsal studio.  The room was packed with musicians, dancers and listeners.  It was a vibrant scene, but too loud and too hot for most of to appreciate longer than a few minutes.<\/p>\n<p>By the time we got back to the hotel and had dinner, it was after midnight.  I had hoped to visit the Eiffel Tower at night, shimmering in all its glory, but someone had told us (mistakenly, I learned later) that the trains stopped running at 1am on Saturday night, so I gave up my quest, and with a few of the guys went on a post dinner walk along the Seine.  It was lovely.  On returning to the hotel, I called my mom and wished her a happy birthday.<\/p>\n<p>Walking around Paris<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_w0AglQoI\/AAAAAAAAATg\/bjLKAafIkMs\/s1600-h\/DSCN0445.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_w0AglQoI\/AAAAAAAAATg\/bjLKAafIkMs\/s200\/DSCN0445.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255684066445181570\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_w0EIsjfI\/AAAAAAAAATo\/1vpQbkMkw1c\/s1600-h\/DSCN0446.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_w0EIsjfI\/AAAAAAAAATo\/1vpQbkMkw1c\/s200\/DSCN0446.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255684067418738162\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_w0UFA4BI\/AAAAAAAAATw\/fw60Ls5R3pM\/s1600-h\/DSCN0448.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_w0UFA4BI\/AAAAAAAAATw\/fw60Ls5R3pM\/s200\/DSCN0448.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255684071698259986\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_w0lBaBuI\/AAAAAAAAAT4\/lNea4TLihQg\/s1600-h\/DSCN0457.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_w0lBaBuI\/AAAAAAAAAT4\/lNea4TLihQg\/s200\/DSCN0457.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255684076246533858\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_xxdqoWGI\/AAAAAAAAAUI\/RhrtjQks3d4\/s1600-h\/DSCN0463.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_xxdqoWGI\/AAAAAAAAAUI\/RhrtjQks3d4\/s200\/DSCN0463.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255685122243975266\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_xrBFTunI\/AAAAAAAAAUA\/ZdQVSkPRvWg\/s1600-h\/DSCN0462.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_CVEzz0Co-pg\/SO_xrBFTunI\/AAAAAAAAAUA\/ZdQVSkPRvWg\/s200\/DSCN0462.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255685011492026994\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday morning, we arrived in Paris and, because of a rehearsal with an artist who\u2019d hired us to perform with him after our Paris concert, I took off immediately to try and see what I could of the city.
