Two Days of Special Memories in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, It’s still quite cool in Paris but expected to warm up by the weekend into the high 70s. The city is eerily quiet with almost no traffic. Yes, it makes for better sleeping but doesn’t seem like Paris. Things will crank up by the end of the month when shops open back […]
Paris Temps Drop Seventeen Degrees!
Bonjour mes amis, Weather is always the trickster in Paris playing havoc with daily plans, wardrobe, and one’s mental psyche. You would think after all of these years, I’d get ahead of the weather’s fickleness, but I never do. It was 87 on Sunday and barely up to 70 yesterday. So, we adapt and lavish […]
Paris Sunday Stroll at the Beach in 87 Degrees
Bonjour, Our Sunday was quiet and easy as it was 87 degrees outside. Walking around gets tough because there’s little respite from the heat. It’s not like you can go home to a cool, air-conditioned house! So we kept fans going in all corners of the apartment and the windows CLOSED to keep the heat […]
Weekend Fun, Food and Friendship in Paris
Bonjour mes amis, Our last few days with the Bilbros have been festive and full of calories! We commented that basically all one does in Paris is eat. And the eating is wonderful. We’re either planning where to eat, making a reservation to eat or ingesting the scrumptious meals in real time. All the better […]
Sunny Day in Paris Helping Friends
Happy Friday! The weather is finally feeling like summer with a high yesterday in the upper 80s. It was just plain hot which is the first time we’ve experienced that sensation since we arrived on July 4. It was nice to feel the warm sun on our bodies and not be bothered with jackets, sweaters, […]
A Blissful Day of Leisurely Friendship
Bonjour, Not every day in Paris is full of momentous excitement fueling dozens of photos. Some days are made to be relished slowly and completely like a glorious setting sun or a slow rain. Yesterday was such a day, focused on the warmth and camaraderie of friendship. The Bilbros have only a few days left […]
Strolling To and From Rue Mouffetarde
Bonjour, In the early years of visiting Paris before Google Maps and cell phone assistance, I would eagerly peruse through all the travel books by Frommer, Michelin, and Rick Steves, etc. They all lauded a street called rue Mouffetarde on the Left Bank. Bernie had never been there; in fact, he’d never heard of it, […]
Apartment Art, New Church and New Cemetery
Bonjour mes amis, From a rainy Paris, I’m happy to share that daily posts will continue. It’s always good to check with our readers so onward and upward. Blogging is such fun for me, not work, and though I may fuss and fume over Word Press and an internet that comes and goes, overall, I […]
