We might go to the Picasso exhibition at the Louvre this afternoon.
It depends what the queues are like.I've heard it gets very busy.

Isn't that right.Jason?Yeah.
So.what are you two doing today?Any plans?
Yeah.we're going to up the Eiffel Tower this morning
and then we're going to for a cruise down the river.
