Natalie Arrives in Paris But Three and a Half Hours Late!
Bonjour,
My daughter Natalie graced us with her very first visit to Paris yesterday after a grueling day of travel. She got caught in a nasty storm in New York City which delayed her flight for hours, but amazingly, they didn’t cancel the flight. She was in unbelievably good spirits and just glad to finally be here with us at our apartment. We actually had quite a good day.
The temps are significantly down, and may I say a well-deserved break for us! And it rained for about five minutes this morning. Hoping for some more off and on today.
Most of these photos are hers so I will sneak them onto my blog. The last series of the chimney tops is a beautiful sequence taken by Bernie as the sun was setting last night. They unfortunately don’t capture what we saw with the naked eye. Hope you enjoy!

Bernie looks as excited to show Natalie Paris as her mother. Enjoy the visit and cooler temps. It is suppose to get back to the 90’s for us next week.

The bar scene lighting and decor looked quite laid back and inviting. The benches and tables made of pallets remind of my early furniture. Do street musicians provide music along the river at night? Seeing TV antennae mixed with the chimneys made we wonder if there is cable TV, telephone, and internet in Paris. Wiring the old buildings would seem difficult. What are Natalie’s 1st impressions? Thank you.

There are street musicians everywhere in public areas but they have to pay a fee and be approved. In the bars, the bands are probably booked for a fee. And oh yes, Paris has cable TV, telephones and internet! Natalie’s first impressions are pure delight at being here, having no responsibility, and just going where we take her. She is very pleased that it is so cool outside today as we all are.
