Back to Paris for some R&R to before heading out to Espana and Portugal...
Sunday TGV back to Paris via Strasbourg and the beautiful French Country side...The ZB family picked me up from Gare de L'Est and we all went to the South Indian area of Paris for some Idli Dosa and some Garam Masala shopping...It was a blast, and as always little C was a gem and very patient with his mom and aunt at the Indian grocery store...We then went to Champs de Mars, a park in front of the Eiffel tower, where there was a family wellness expo and of course the Manege where C rode on the Merry-Go-Round...
Monday Aunt M joined us for Lunch...It was lovely...The weather nice and sunny and we had had our lunch on the balcony...
Aunt M was gracious to show me all the beautiful spots of Paris, from Les Invalides, to the Pont Alexandre, Les Grand et Petit Palais, the Champs-Elysee , Place de la Concord, Place de la Madelaine, Opera, St Honore, Maxim, Gallery Lafayette, and then back to the Champs-Elysee and the L'Arc de Triumph...We walked it all with a little break in a cozy cafe in front of
