We arrived on time. The flight over was easy. On three across seating we always take the aisle & window seats & hope for the best in the middle. It happened...it was empty. Gerard was there to pick us up.
Didn't take many pics today. Jet lag zaps ambition.
Parisian styles have changed. The bare midriffs are gone...replaced by shorts & short shorts.
Jeans still dominate. Cell phones are even more prevalent.
McDonald's color theme is dark green. We stopped in for a raspberry frappé dessert. Long lines. They have terminals inside where you can order & pay for your food, then pick up when ready.
The weather is fabulous, sunny & warm daytime, but definitely chilly at night.
La Bastoche, our all-purpose food place is gone. Hate that. But Chez Tony, our favorite pizza joint is still here & better yet, so is Jimmy, our favorite waiter. Couldn't get the camera out fast enough to catch him covering Susanne with hugs & kisses, shouting "Amereeka,! I love Amereeka!!!"
Here he is:
We hadn't planned on pizza tonite, but with a welcome like that...
Jimmy said he will put on a full Italian outfit for tomorrow night, so we may have pizza again.
We stopped off at a hotel we used to stay at to see if our old Ethiopian friend, Salomon was still there. He is but on holiday until the day before we get back.
That's it for now...that vaguely crummy feeling of being neither fully well nor really sick has been with us all day. Trying to stay up later so we sleep better.
BTW, you can make comments on any blog by clicking on the link at the end. It's a bit of a pain to have to log in but that's to keep spam out. The comment won't post immediately because I have to review it, to avoid profanity, etc.
Anyhow, that's it for now. Back atchya later.
