Bonjour, What a delightful day we had yesterday…full of surprises for me. And we’re about ready at 5:30am to be out the door to greet our next guests at the airport. As it’s working out, we’re hoping to relay some different interactions on the blog from those of the Ludwigs. It looks like we may […]
Bonjour mes amis, For the past three days, we’ve rested, done laundry, and cleaned our apartment…how exciting is that? Life does require certain functions even in lovely Paris. We’ve also shied away from eating out which means doing what I least like to do…preparing all of our meals in our tiny little kitchen. Oh well, […]
Bonjour, Before I take a blogging break, we wanted to share our final day with the Ludwigs. We put them in a cab at 7:30 this morning (Monday) and wish them safe travels with no drama! We spent Sunday morning at a very wet Bastille market which was disappointing. It’s hard to negotiate an umbrella […]
Bonjour, Sometimes, even in Paris, a break is good, and guys need to do a guy thing and the girls need some time to shop! That was our yesterday plan even amid the rain in the morning hours. We are counting down our last days together after what has been a wonderful visit. Cindi and I […]
Bonjour, It’s so fun for us to see our Paris blog influence strengthen as we now have folks joining us from all around the world! Merci to all of you! Keep those comments coming in—ask questions, disagree, give a thumbs down—it doesn’t always have to be positive. We find each and every comment interesting! Yesterday, […]
Bonjour mes amis, Thursday was the perfect representation of this year’s blog theme on light. We saw the Van Gogh exposition at L’Artelier des Lumières, the workshop of light and illumination. It’s a multi-media composition that is truly hard to describe: a mix of art, music, camera projection, and digital graphic genius which produces an immersion […]
Bonjour, Packed with adventure and fun, we are having busy days!! I know you can’t tell that. We’re pretty much pooped but having too much enjoyment to stop. We told Cindi and Bob to get ready to walk. NOW, they believe us! Getting in these blog posts is a challenge. Have you noticed that they’re […]
Bonjour, If you’re not much into art, you may not appreciate this post, but we hope you will hang in there with us and find the content interesting, perhaps educational, and indicative of all the treasures one can find in Paris. Our day’s adventure focused on a visit to one of Paris’ most distinguished and […]
Bonjour! A good weather day is scarce in Paris right now, and it’s an absolute requirement for a trip to Montmartre. We grabbed it and off we went! Bob & Cindi had been there once 20 years ago. They vaguely remembered the church, the art square, and of course, the steps. We took our time […]
Bonjour mes amis, Five years ago, we celebrated Bernie’s 75th birthday in the fall, and the weather was totally different – mild, beautiful, and mostly sunny. I remember wearing basically my summer wardrobe until the very last of October leading into the first week of November when we departed. The weather this time has been […]
