Hitting Our Stride on Second Day in Paris
Bonjour, It isn’t easy to incorporate the body clock switch when traveling abroad with new food, new water, new bed, etc. and it’s especially difficult the older we get. Our message: don’t delay. Travel when your days are younger. We do “okay” but it’s getting more and more difficult. Slowly we are making progress. I […]
Bienvenue à Paris!
Bonjour mes amis, It’s almost summertime and for us that means Paris! This is our twenty-second year, and we hope to share the next two months with you. Our travel day on Friday was less than the best with a 3-hour delay out of Huntsville because of a mechanical problem. Ugh! The rest of the […]
Saying Au Revoir
Bonjour mes amis, This trip has been different from our many others over these 20 years. It has been shorter, colder, grayer and fraught with health challenges, heavy coats, gloves that went missing and scarves that were never quite warm enough. BUT any time in Paris is good, and we are deeply grateful to have […]
A Surprising Sunday
Bonjour mes amis, Well, we’re down to only two days and enjoying them with friends. Our Saturday dinner with our former neighbor, Chantal, was delightful as always. She had just returned from two weeks in Germany for Christmas. She left a plumbing problem in her apartment and returned to the same issue with a cancelled […]
Waiting for a Sunny Day!

Here and There in Le Marais On New Year’s Eve
Happy New Year, friends near and far! We wish for you a happy, healthy and productive New Year. We have exactly one week remaining and it will be busy connecting with friends before we depart on January 8th. The weather is still chilly, BUT we haven’t had any rain in ten days or so. That […]
Dimanche: Sunday in Paris
Bonjour, Our days are becoming fewer and colder but no indication of any snow in the forecast. It will be in the mid 30’s today which is pretty cold to walk around in especially at night. Yesterday was a slow easy day as Sundays should be. We decided upon lunch in La Place de la […]
Christmas Tourists Still Jam Paris
Bonjour, It barely got above freezing yesterday so a very cold (hatless) day. Ah, Bernard. We did not stop out of the apartment until after 3pm for some grocery shopping and then a last effort to see Christmas decorations after dark at the suggestion of Google’s Top Ten. I had only missed one, GalerieVivienne behind […]
