Postcard From France - Back in Paris



On Friday we returned to Paris. Transitioning through train stations and subways with all our gear was not easy. We are in a different apartment - 106 Rue d'Assas - on the other side of Luxembourg Gardens, in the 6th. It is nicer than we expected. We went to the grocery store and stocked up on some essentials for the week. We made a simple dinner at home and settled into our comfy beds. The French seem to really have a wonderful appreciation of fine bedding and wonderful quality linens.
On Saturday we ventured out toward the Eiffel Tower. We spent some time in the Champs-de-Mar and Henry got to ride a pedal-powered go-cart and ride a donkey at the base of the Eiffel Tower. I have been using CLOTILDE'S EDIBLE ADVENTURES IN PARIS as my food bible of places to go. I was excited to finally try some "salted butter caramel" ice cream at Martine Lambert. Meghan was wonderful enough to offer to babysit Henry on her last night in Paris. We are very sad to see her go. Our trip would not have been a vacation without her. Thank you Meghan. We love you more than you can imagine!

Kecia and Tyler,

It's been so much fun to read your blog over the past couple of weeks! I could have sworn you had a picture of Tyler in his speedos ... We loved your story about day 2 of your walk and searching for cold drink and food. We're excited you'll be returning soon so we can hear more tales in person. BTW it was 100 degrees yesterday! All's fine here thus far. Spent our first night at the Edgefield Inn. We should go there together sometime! Enjoy your last week in Paris!

Love, Rachel and Drew
