Slower Day Caps Off a Busy Paris Visit
Bonjour mes amis, We are almost to the end of a fantastic visit with Carson and Natalie. They brought perfect weather after our unseasonably cool, rainy May. Actually, not a cloud in the sky while they have been here. For this Alabama gal, weather like this brings out the best of Paris. Yesterday was a […]
5.3 Miles Amid History and Celebration
Bonjour, I’m an early riser so getting up at 9am tells you a lot! We had another marathon day yesterday and fell into bed after 11pm. (Natalie and Carson were out still prowling the Champs and Arc de Triomphe.) Between vertigo, snoring, late-night texts and too much caffeine, sleeping is at a premium. I always […]
Exploring the Left Bank of Paris
Bonjour, I’m off to a late start today! We are running wide open and it’s hard to find the time to get the blog out. Here’s our delightful day yesterday on the Left Bank or Rive Gauche. We had a very late lunch or breakfast about 2:30 as we all slept in from the marathon […]
Murphy’s Law Bites Our Trip to Normandy
Bonjour mes amis, Alors…as the French would say…so, our eighth Normandy trip was anything but typical! I’m a big believer in signs and omens. This may not be the post you were expecting, but it was our day from start to finish. I’m guessing it will make you chuckle. We had mapped out the perfect […]
Spending Time in Bernie’s Neighborhood
Bonjour, Just a quick blog today as we’re ready to depart to Normandy. First the train, then a rental car with Natalie as our chauffeur. Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Ours will be special and the weather looks very good—windy and a bit cool but better than stifling hot. Yesterday, the two “young people” slept […]
A Holiday Saturday at Montmartre
Bonjour, What better day could one have than to share a place you love with people you love! Yesterday was part of a holiday weekend in Paris. Pentecost Sunday is today in celebration of Christ’s ascension. And on Monday (our Memorial Day), we will be honored to celebrate by spending a day on the Normandy […]
Bienvenue à Paris, Natalie and Carson!
Bonjour, Thanks to so many of you for the kind support in regard to this damnable case of vertigo I have managed to get. About ten years ago, I had this for one solid year and truly thought I was going to lose my mind. I tried every remedy I could find but nothing helped […]
Bustling, Busy Champs Elysées
Bonjour, Glorious weather graced our day with hardly a cloud in the sky and 70 degrees as the high. I’d call that about perfect unless you have vertigo and then, darn, it’s not as much fun. Bless Bernie for always holding my hand and telling me that everything will get better. Maybe home is where […]
