Ceci, once again you've allowed me to see Paris through your eyes. The photos are wonderful. They gave me an idea of what it was like to take that ride. How great that you had seats up front!!

Loved the photos of you, Jim and your mother. You all look great. I know you are enjoying this autumn in Paris!

Pat, thanks. I figured people would like to see pictures of us. I'm not very good at taking pictures of people, whether that's us or other people. But occasionally someone remeinds me.

Maura, Thanks, The gardens here are great. We are having a good time. Thanks for checking in. Have fun at school!

I had to delete that 3rd comment. It was spam. I hope I don't get too many of those. If I do I'll have to put in that filter, where you have to type in the letters in the box. We'll see what happens.

Ceci - Since my laptop died, I haven't been able to delight in spending time on your site and enjoying your photos. I hope my new one gets here soon! My time is so limited since I'm using the library. I know I have something to really look forward to once I'm up and running again! Blessings to you - Rose

A visit to Louis Pasteur Museum

Image
We decided to try to visit the Louis Pasteur museum, which we thought was on the campus of the Louis Pasteur Institute , a bio-medical research institution in Paris. We passed this church, which was called St. John the Baptist de la Salle. I hadn't heard of this saint before, but I liked the statue of him with the children. Then we passed a building on our right with lots of people walking around it carrying notebooks. They looked like students. We still weren't sure where the museum was, but through a gate on our left we saw this statue, which Jim recognised from some papers he'd read. We went into the reception area at the guard house and asked for the museum and were told it was here. The girl asked us for ID's and made us name badges right on the spot. We clipped them onto our clothes and walked into the museum. Inside we saw signs directing us upstairs. The desk for the museum was empty, but a sign said it would be open at 2:00. It was 1:55, so we waited. Pretty...

A visit to Guernsey of the Channel Islands

Image
Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands or as they are called in French Les Isles Anglo-Normands , in not, according to Wikipedia, part of the U.K. It is a crown dependency and a Bailiwick. I knew very little about the Channel Islands of Europe, except that they had cows, before I read the novel The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society , by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Ever since reading that book several years ago, I have wanted to visit Guernsey. I hadn’t been able to make the trip in our many visits to Normandy before this, so I decided I was going to go this year in June, whether Jim went with me or not. He decided to go, so that made it easier and more fun for me. It takes about 5 hours to get to Guernsey from here. It would be easier to get to Jersey, but there were a couple reasons I wanted to go to Guernsey. It’s a drive of 1 hr 50 min. to get to St. Malo; the ferry takes about 1 hr 50 mins as well, and then there is the time in between. We arrived in Saint Pe...

One week and counting down....

Image
In one week I'll be leaving for Paris. So why am I spending time at this computer now? Well, I've been planning this trip for about 9 months already, so I have some stuff done. I need to organize my last days so I don't forget anything important so I made a list this morning. Here it is: THINGS TO DO BEFORE NEXT MONDAY _Get the house ready to leave; Clean and put away most of our stuff; clear out the drawers and closet in one guest room for Sarah, our house-sitter. Make a list of things I think Sarah will need to know. Have Sarah over for a house orientation tour. _Start packing a suitcase with fall clothes. I made a list a while back, but may have to revise it, when I see how much will fit in the suitcase. One good thing we will be there for only one season—the fall. So that makes packing a bit easier. Mostly sweaters, jeans, pants, a couple skirts, a dress, raincoat and jacket, scarves. The French wear scarves all the time, so I need more than one. _Start piling up books,...
