... of bed. Pure luxury! Even a dresser as well as armoire (small). We love this place.  (We highly recommend the Hotel Relais Bosquet.  We got a deluxe room for our 10 night stay, with a little more room and more amenities.)  Friendly desk ...

... , it was the fat fingers on the iPod. Supposed to be "foodies". Bon appetite! Later: back from very nice dinner at Le Bosquet, about 100 steps from hotel entrance. We had pate on hard toast for starter,and Bob had good looking roast chicken with gobs ...

This morning Bob did a little laundry and I sifted through nine days of stuff and decided what to send in a second box home. Got it all labeled and ready to go and we went to post office on cool morning - only a couple of blocks away. This time the ...

We woke to shirt sleeve warm weather (stuck our arms out the window) but it was sprinkling a little by the time we left hotel. So we left coats behind and took hats and umbrellas. Took the great Metro 14 stops on our own line, no transfers, to Place de ...

Hi, The inability to send email on the iPod and my complete refusal to deal with it results in the following "public" responses to a couple of emails we received. Thelma: thanks for your faithful support and good cheer; we are trying to stay safe and ...

Today was a perfect day for us in Paris. The sun was out, it was breezy and got to about 75. It was Sunday and we finally had a free day to attend church. And today was to be Eiffel Tower day. So we had a leisurely breakfast and lounged in our room a ...

Well, I finally found out what the menu item of baba au rhum is! The waitress couldn't tell me in English but I figured out it was a not too big rum cake--I thought. This ties right in with guy we met at dinner the other night, who told us the French ...

Well, Margot and Bob, today was another "get acquainted with new folks at the laundromat" day. This was a great laundromat--we decided to beat the local "strike day" crowd tomorrow so we sat with locals and Americans doing loads together. We taught ...

It is about 6 AM and I slept like a baby last night--all night. Had a nice fish dinner at local restaurant and we really collapsed into bed last night. We are starting to wear down--Parisians move so fast. Run run run, but always in high style. ...

Today was the day to go to Versailles. We had always imagined that it was out in the countryside surrounding Paris. Not!   All built up all the way there, passing through the usual graffiti filled train stations before arriving at the town, a real ...

We are sorry not to answer any emails. There is some problem that I cannot figure out so no emails that I write are accepted because of invalid login or password on Comcast. No idea--c'est la vie. Woke up early today to tackle some museum country but, ...

Today, it was a day to head out on foot. So we consulted our trusty Metro map to figure out how to get to the islands in the Seine where several things are located. Metro tickets in hand and experience in other places--we took off with a little ...

WE HAVE ARRIVED AND ARE UP AFTER 28 HOURS AWAKE AND ABOUT 4 HOURS OF SLEEP....  DINNER AT SIDEWALK CAFE ... GREAT CHEESES... INTERESTING STREET LIFE ... GREAT STYLES ... CANNOT FIGURE OUT FRENCH KEYBOARD ... WIFI DOES NOT CONNECT WITH IPOD YET AND ...

After settling into the hotel, we set out on foot to explore the neighborhood and get some water and snacks for the room.  The area was cleaner than I expected--none of the doggie doo or graffiti like other areas of France I've been in.  After ...

Mid-day we drove to the Eurostar station (about an hour) and took the 2 hour trip to Paris.  We grabbed a smoke-filled taxi from the station to our hotel in the Rue Cler district near the Eiffel Tower.  Loved the hotel, loved the ...
