A Cool, Calm Day in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, We have the sense that Paris is less crowded, more calm and certainly much cooler than a week ago! June must be the busiest month! It was cool enough to wear a sweater most of the day and certainly cool enough last night to get up and close the window and turn […]
La Samaritaine
Bonjour, So sorry about the past couple of days. We’ve had glorious rain off and on which makes getting around much less enjoyable. No circulation, no photos. My vertigo seems to be getting worse so that also hampers my state of mind and desire to push forward. Hopefully, today will be better. We will return […]
A Stroll on the Left Bank
Bonjour, We waked this morning to glorious rain coming down steadily which is SO needed. The city is dirty and dusty! The temp is 59 degrees and feels like 52 according to my weather app. Wonderfully cool but ironic given that it’s only the second day of the beach! Weather is definitely a trickster. Yesterday, […]
Happy Fourth of July!
Bonjour, I failed to say Happy Fourth of July in yesterday’s post! So hope you had a great day of rest, food, fireworks and fun. It’s easy to lose touch with reality over here. Today, July 5 is the start of Le Tour de France and Paris Plage or the Paris beach. I just read […]
Just a Walk Around the Neighborhood
Bonjour, Yesterday’s weather was spectacular with temps in the low 70’s with a constant breeze. (Absolutely, no rain in sight. It has rained only twice since we’ve been here). Definitely, not a day to sit inside our tiny apartment. It started with laundry and changing our bed which is still one of the hardest things […]
Looking for Cool and Finally Getting It
Bonjour, I haven’t made many award-winning posts in the last few days because of the heat. There has been nowhere much to hide except in the meat market at the Monoprix! Yesterday was another miserably hot day until about 6pm when the temperature suddenly without a storm or any rain dropped 20 degrees in an […]
An Unforgettable Evening at Le Lido in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, The days have been hot and tough! But I guess you could say we are tougher or dumber, whatever the case may be. We seem to have made it through the worst (I hope). Sleep is the hardest. Many have suggested an air-conditioned hotel room and one friend even found a close […]
Hot Sluggish Day not Great for Interesting Posts
Bonjour I must apologize that there is not much to post about from yesterday. We were almost too hot to move, much less to get any sleep. It is predicted to be 100 degrees today in Paris, the hottest ever for us after 22 years. Folks who say the climate isn’t warming should come over […]
