19 Sep 2021 Paris France

 


We have arrived!  It was a long and turbulent flight.  The air was rough due to some residual tropical systems out over the Atlantic Ocean.  The lay flat pods were nice but it is difficult to get a good sleep on any flight.  We landed at 7AM local time which was 1AM our time.  Our pre-arranged driver did not show up so we all piled into a taxi for what seemed like a quick drive to the Palis Royal.  The streets were devoid of cars and people, partly because it was early and partly because it was Sunday.  This three bedroom apartment is fully equipped with kitchen, washer, dryer, dishwasher and incredible view.   The interior of this building is a planted with trees and is a park that is free for people to stroll through.  We did some strolling though there ourselves when we went out for lunch / breakfast.  Croquette sandwiches for everyone.  I got the Croquette Madame, a ham and cheese sandwich with fried egg.   Leslie and Laura got the Croquette Monsieur which is the same sans the egg.   


She's so fancy...


Yes, I can stay here!


Hello Laura


Time to lay flat Mr. Chair


Oh yes, I can feel the circulation in my legs flowing freely


Love that smile!

The mask was a hit!  The flight attendant and a passenger all wanted to take a picture
