Day 8 Paris
My sister Darcy and her husband Jim arrived from Reading, PA today. We met them near their hotel in the Montparnasse area at the Restaurant La Rotonde. We had a few beers and some wine before walking through the Luxembourg Gardens back to our apartment. After hanging around there until 2:30 or so walked by the Louvre, through the Tuileries, and up the Champs Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe. On the way back we stopped at Restaurant Le Fouquet's on the Champs Elysees and had a bottle of wine: even Jim drank some. We walked back almost to their hotel when we decided we were getting a little tired and hungry so we ate at Le Bistrot du Sud-Quest. It was only six, but they served food all day. Jim and Darcy had chicken (stepped way out there), and Sylvia and I had salads (nothing very adventuresome there either). Nothing very special except the company. It was the end of a nine mile walk and Jim and Darcy hadn't had time to get much sleep, plus we were all pretty tired. So they went back to their hotel while Sylvia and I walked back to the apartment but stopped on the way for dessert and a double espresso, No trouble falling asleep.

That's fabulous that Darcy and Jim came to Paris to see you. You guys are becoming regular traveling buddies. Very cool.
Sounds like walking, eating, walking, sleeping, walking, walking, and eating are on the agenda. Sounds good to me.
Love,
Carol and Sammy (Jack is chained to the DC sports radio channel listening to everything Redskins so he's pretty out of it and not paying attention ;-).
