Bonjour mes amis, Montmartre needs a beautiful weather day…check! Montmartre needs a dose of high energy…check. Montmartre needs some planning…not so much! I failed to realize that this past weekend was the wine festival or Fete du Vendages. Our “plan” was to start at 10am and make the 11am mass at Le Sacre Coeur. When the […]
Bonjour and Happy Weekend! Yesterday’s adventures with Tim and Paula produced so many good photos that it’s like a gold mine trying to sift through them. Bernie has the really, really good camera with special settings for almost any situation and the rest of us various levels of iPhones. To tell you who shot what is […]
Bonjour mes amis, Round two of Huntsville company began yesterday very early in the day. Paula and Tim landed at CDG at 6:08am, and we were there at 6:35 to greet them. Of course, they were excited but also pretty exhausted and in that arrival-zone hinterland after a flip-flop to their body clocks. But that […]
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 […]
