Finding More Fun on Final Paris Visit
Dear friends, Yesterday, the temps were stifling as Natalie and Lisa squeezed all the fun out of their last day. We all bought little $10 dresses, tops and pants, etc. at the market to be as cool as possible. They will most likely disintegrate when washed but they were cool and comfy. We began by […]
Sunday Pleasures in Paris
Bonjour, Sunday mornings are my favorite time in Paris when it is cool, quiet, and calm. For true Parisians, it’s a family day, perhaps with a little church or a stroll in one of the parks.

Paris Is Hot, Hot, Hot and Jammed with Tourists
Bonjour! Life is much better after 24 hours in Paris, and we do love our new apartment, though we’re struggling with the location. A good night’s rest, new friends, and good food made for a smile on our faces. I do apologize for the negativity in my first post as I try always to make […]
