    Bo(soft n) jour. The sights of the city you’ve captured this weekend have been appetizers that have us drooling for Paris long before the entrees are served beginning Thursday.

      Actually, no “n” at all. Just a nasal sound like when you hold your nose!

    What a lovely building and gardens! The outside and inside pictures of light continue to intrigue me. I hope the pregnant woman is alright. It’s good to hear she had immediate help.

    Loved the Senat photos. I’ve always wanted to see the interior of that lovely building.

    We’re behind and trying to catch up. Montmartre always seems be one of your favorite days — is it possible sum up your attraction in a couple sentences. Again from the trip to Montmartre – the person that shortened 2 legs on the stool deserves a big gold star — thanks for catching that. You’re both on a roll this year — the trip has gotten off to a great start. P.S. Has your app that lets us make comments always had spell check? Pat & Sybil

      Hi Pat & Sybil, glad you’re along again this year. For those reading these comments, I think its’ fun to know that Pat and I started first grade together and went to school as classmates all through the years. It’s been so neat to reconnect! I didn’t know about spell check!

    The Senate building is amazing- like so much there!

    It’s sweet, exciting and a little sad (bc who knows if I will ever see again in person) to see places that I recognize such as the draped ivy near the love wall (forget the name of the fountain). Is that the restaurant we ate at last year post Luxembourg gardens?

    Fun trick with the camera…so for clarity, always wipe your lens but in the right light (such as when the sun is peaking through a darker shot or when there are little lights against a dark background) try it also with a finger swipe across the lens. It can streak/blur the lights and make them fun. Just watch out it doesn’t give you a hazy shot. Have fun! And great eye with the camera and light!

      The fountain is the Medici fountain but it’s not the love wall. That’s at Montmartre. And yes, it’s the same restaurant where we ate. In fact, we talked about that! My goal is to get Carson here before I’m too old to come.

    Send some of that rain back home. We desperately need it. Jim
