Final leg

Arg

Left hotel 8:30 in cab. Ran into blocked street. Then blocked freeway - 90 min to CDG, arroved 10am. Then check in, nearly 30 min, then immigration, brief shopping, then 40 min security. And because of so few inspection machines we had to wait for Chicago and Philly travelers who were given priority. Finally on plane at 11:50. Walt is cranky. Sharon is more mature about all this. I, on the other hand, feel like a trapped rat. Grrrr.

great hotel - La Perle - Paris


Friendly and always helpful staff

What was for lunch?


Well, you tell me. The food was great, but sorting out menus was a fun challenge. This is from Chez Lazare in Versailles. Eating good here is less expensive than Fairfax. For 80 euro you can get two good salads, two entrees, a desert, and a carafe of good house wine. And that includes a service charge.

Last night in Paris


We had a wonderful trip. And a wonderful last night out here. Tomorrow - United Airlines to IAD. yuk.

Its May 1, a holiday here. But Montmarte is open and packed. Touristy but so romantic.
