After the Louvre we decided to be adventurous and explore the city and find a street cafe to have a "proper" French dinner.  It was an interesting experience.  Before we left I had bought the language translation software for my Treo, and I used that to decode the menus at the various cafes we passed.  When we finally found a cafe that had food we wanted we went in, luckily the waiter did speak English (although only a little, but enough), and after all that effort of translating the menu they had English menus for us to order from.  The food was properly delicious.  Some interesting differences dining in France than in America.  It's considered rude to rush someone who is dining, so the server will never come over to you unless you call for him (except for delivering things you already asked for.)  And they will never bring you the check until you ask for it.  Having dinner in France is a much more laid back experience than in America.  Another oddity, they gave us a bowl of green olives to snack on until our food came.  They seemed to treat the olives like we would treat chips & salsa, or a bowl of peanuts.  They were delicious olives, some kind I had never tasted before, rather sweet.  On the way back to the hotel we explored a few more shops.
