Bonjour, I have been remiss in capturing summer memories on my blog. The culprits are travel, a busy schedule and just plain laziness. As we approach the conclusion of this year’s Tour de France, I thought it would be fun to cycle back through some of our photos. This year’s finish will be historic, concluding […]
Bonjour, Yesterday’s weather surprised us with a high of 92. It was a beautiful day but a hot one for moving around. Bernie often comments that I never sweat. But I proved him wrong yesterday!! We began our morning back at the Bastille market. Bernie purchased a baguette and in typical French fashion ate much […]
Bonjour, After a fast and furious 12 days in Paris, we have a week’s respite to discover life in this new apartment and in the area. Everything is so different, and I have not conceded to the “newness” with ease. But it is a lovely apartment, and we jokingly say that we walk ourselves to […]
Bonjour, Yesterday, I totally forgot to mention Le Tour de France. We had watched it on television almost every day through the month of July except for the week we had company. We were primed and ready to stand once again on the Champs and watch the cyclists whiz by. Alas, the plan didn’t materialize […]
Bonjour mes amis, It occurs to me that I’m not doing nearly as good a job as some of my fellow bloggers who are sharing a new post every day. Shame on me. Some days are harder than others. Here are some daily Paris-related blogs you might enjoy: Eye Prefer Paris from Richard Nahem who is […]
So…how observant were you? Did you figure it out? These photos are not from yesterday’s Tour final but rather from 2016. It was raining! Our total plan was foiled yesterday due to new security issues. We’ve probably been to this final day of the tour ten times over the years and always the same three […]
Bon Dimanche, Happy Sunday to you all from a much cooler Paris. The temp this morning is 67! We can now breath some fresher air. Friday evening brought a heavy rain storm with hail; however, it only lasted about 30 minutes. Though predictions said it would rain all night, it did not so the relief […]
Dear Friends, Since most of you are spending your time enjoying the long holiday weekend in the USA, I will do a collective post over a few days. On Sunday morning around 11am in Paris, it was 58 degrees, cold and rainy. Incredible. I believe we are having what is usually a cool, wet June […]
Happy Fourth of July Weekend! I will take a break on the blog for a day or two since I’m sure most of you will be busy grilling burgers, eating watermelon, and visiting with family and friends. We will be as proud to be Americans here in Paris as we are at home! This morning […]
