Paris Weather…The Unpredictable Trickster
Bonjour,
Yesterday in Paris was a surprise-much cooler and culminating in an aggravating rain which kept us from our after-dinner walk. It did not, however, keep Bernie from his nightly soirée with his buddies downstairs. They bandy about all manner of subjects which greatly increases Bernie’s French vocabulary. The group broke up abruptly to scurry home to watch the big soccer game, leaving Bernie scratching his head and alone at the bar! Soccer is like Alabama-Auburn football here. We could hear the shouts all around the neighborhood and presume that France won.
Our goal for the day was to find our summer copy of “Where Paris” magazine. The tourist kiosk at Nortre Dame which usually has the magazine is no longer there so we will have to search for it at one of the better hotels. It’s a great guide which we have used year after year and highlights new exhibits, restaurants and side trips. It has opened the door to many great memories for us.
We captured some interesting street scenes which we love to share.
And finally, the “Purely Paris” photo of the day has to be this presentation of lobster from our best local delicatessen.
Since we’re 7 hours ahead of you, I’m just waking up to yet another terrorist attack in London. So sad.
Today, June 4, is my daughter’s 35th birthday so “Happy Birthday, Natalie.” Hope you have a special day.
A bientôt,
L & B

Loved your pictures today! Happy Birthday to Natalie!
I must confess I am frightened about what is going on in London. Ashley leaves for a trip there very soon.

Yes, the London situation is so sad. We pray for Ashley’s safe travel.

Hi, Linda. I’m enjoying your blog, and I loved your book. If possible, I’d like to see a picture of an older couple strolling in which the wife is wearing her vintage Ferragamo shoes!

The weight of all the locks was destroying the bridges so they were all cut off and it is now illegal to attach a lock. However, people still do it.

Until this year, I don’t think I knew/remember reading about Bernie and his buddies gathering in the evening. That’s great. And now that we’ve seen what beautiful food you can buy at the deli…did you cook or did you go out? Hope you find the Paris guide today.

We ate lunch out and a snack in for dinner. Easy on the waistline and the pocketbook.

Glad you arrived safely. Love your pictures especially the roses. I am a true flower lover and hope to see more.
