A Cooler Day in Paris

, 0

Bonjour,

Yesterday was a great reset! Overall, it was about ten degrees cooler with a high of 85 which was still hot but nothing like the day before. The city was recuperating after a wild and crazy night with the Fete. The streets were still a bit littered but the heaps of garbage had been whisked away in the early morning hours.

We were just in “slow-go” mode most of the day conserving our energy. If you’ve ever had vertigo, you know that it’s the absolute pits. I am fighting to stay upright with every step and it’s exhausting.  We had a nice brunch in a quiet spot, rested during the afternoon and then met Hannah for an early dinner over in the 16th arrondissement which is her area. She has been so good about coming to us and we felt obligated to return the favor. She flies out for Maryland mid-day. We will miss her!

Sadly, this homeless lady devoured her food as we had our leisurely brunch. Heart-breaking reality of Paris!

Our beautifully blooming hydrangeas from our window looking out. They were so small when we arrived.

Profiteroles for Hannah which will mean the need for more steps!
An apple crumble for me!

Today’s high is only 76!!! And tomorrow Bernie’s cousins arrive from Alsace. We are thrilled to see them one more time. I’m hoping to feel better soon so I can enjoy their visit.

A bientôt

L & B
