Well, I made it to Paris and managed to find my way to the apartment in the Marais. While waiting for my luggage, I met a nice couple from Tuscon, Lynne and Mary, who are both neurology professors. They were so kind as to offer to get me to the nearest metro stop to the apartment, as they were going nearby and they had previously lived in Paris, so knew their way around. I guess I had that helpless look on my face.
What a blessing their help was, as the metro from the airport was closed for renovations, so we had to take a bus then the metro. Poor Mary got pick pocketed between the bus and metro, but they only got her phone.
Once at the apartment, a cozy modern tiny affair right in the heart of the action, I headed our with my partner in crime and best travel guide ever, Iris, to The L'Orangerie museum, and the Tulieries Garden.
We strolled around the Rue De Rivoli and rode the metro. That is the lovely Iris below.
Back at the apartment, we had a dinner of fresh baguette bread, cheese, salad with beets, and eggs. Of course, we also had a glass of French wine. C'est bon! Off to more adventures today.
This is fabulous -- wish I were there with you. Is your high school (or was it college?) French coming back to you? mm
ReplyDeleteI wish you were here too! I had 2 years of French in high school, and not much is coming back, only the basics of hello, thank you and the like. Though being here makes me want to learn it again.
