PARIS !!!! What an extraordinary city. I'm just checking in briefly to say hello - more images later but Anne-Marie and I MUST get to the museums. The flight was just fine, and I totally recommend Air Berlin. They stuff you full of food, and for the night flights they give you this cool little sleep kit with ear plugs, eye mask,toothbrush, and SOCKS. How cool is that. And they're on time. Non-stop Ft.Myers to Dusseldorf, hang around a few hours, then a small plane to Paris, and Anne-Marie was exactly right there at the airport, bag came in, I paid something like $5.00 for a Diet Coke, and off we went to the centre of Paris and the Hotel Ibis - remarkably efficient use of space in the room, but quite comfortable. After a short, horizontal break we went pelting off into the city on the underground, straight to Notre Dame where the light was utterly fabulous and the building impossibly beautiful. It stays light here until about 10:30 and this being Paris everyone was wandering around with us so we took our time finding the perfect little cafe in the Latin Quarter facing another gorgeous medieval church that had a 'prix fixe' three course meal for 16 eoros: mussels in white wime, grilled salmon, creme brulee....maaaaahhhhvelous. SO a grand beginning to this European adventure and now we're off to find a baguette and the Musee de Quai Branly !
