Au Revoir Paris!

Just like that our vacation comes to an end.

I admit, I'm misty eyed at the thought of leaving. I do miss the comforts of home, my bed, my bath, my dog, Claire, a washing machine big enough to actually do my family's laundry and a fridge that doesn't freeze the produce; but I really loved Paris. It's a beautiful city with, for the most part, really great people.

I'm sure Annette and Eric are excited to be rid of us and get on with their own travels so I won't be long, plus we have to leave soon and cart all our luggage to the metro so we can take a train to the airport.

YESTERDAY:

Annette and I went out in the morning for a lovely bike ride and while we were gone there was a little excitement outside the apartment window...a garbage truck took out the do not enter sign...it amused Matt that's for sure.

This is a picture of the guys trying to FIX the sign after they took it out with their truck.

Matt Sam and I went up the Eiffel Tower! Yes, while Eric and Annette were looking at the Eiffel Tower from atop the Arch de Triomphe we were looking at them from atop the Eiffel Tower! it wasn't a very long wait but we were concerned that the weather was turning again as it was very windy and mostly cloudy...we even had a couple of raindrops, but by the time we made our way up the elevator ( no stairs for us yesterday) we were lucky to have some lovely sunshine.

Sam even found home from the top of the second observation deck! We have 6, 014 km to travel to get home so hopefully it will be a safe trip. We'll see you all soon.

For Annette and Eric, I hope this was as great a vacation for you as it was for me! I'll miss you guys and hope you have the best time enjoying Ireland! Travel Safe and try to find time to do some blogs to let us know how much fun we're missing out on.

Cheers - au revoir.
