Day Seven: On the way to Paris

Day Seven... on the way to Paris

Well it was a fairly uneventful trip until we tried to wash the car as instructed. How many Americans does it take to wash a car at a French carwash? Evidently more than two... I believe I broke the car wash, and Gail was so pleased.

We had an exciting trip on the train from CDG airport...We got on the RER after consulting two different sources.. I would suggest that it was not the most pleasant journey. We changed from the RER to the Metro. The RER was straight forward; the Metro was a more difficult task. After walking up several stair cases with two suitcases (not Gail, me) we finally made it to the “Grand Hotel Leveque”. We found that escalators were not a priority and the crowds were, even on Saturday trying. Gail was most pleased. The weather is great; a little cool, which is fantastic.

We finally made it to the “Grand Hotel Leveque” and Gail was not a fan. She suggested the Grand part should be used as a disclaimer.

We had a picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower and it was beautiful. In my wildest imagination would I have ever have thought that Gail and I would be sitting on the lawn having wine and quiche by the Eiffel Tower. There were many couples on the lawn in front of the tower that were, “should I say, enjoying their hormones”. We saw several couples that were getting married and overall it was a great day.

Gail is at this time very tired so I will save this note so that she can update with any of her comments.

Cheers
Larry

The breakfast room at the Hotel Rossier
The coffee was fantastic and the breads were soft and sweet

Just a basket of breads
We did not have food shots yesterday so we thought breakfast would be good.

Gail enjoying breakfast.
She is having a snack before the long drive to Paris

War Eagle
Orange and Blue Tiger Mart. Hard to believe that Auburn fans are in France and own a chain of stores

The Car
I guess we will see this puppy in several weeks. Gail's car is nice and drives great

You will see the Tower
Yep you will see the Tower in several poses for the next few pix with no title. I believe it is worth it.
Cheers

Weddings
Gail and I could not believe the number of weddings and brides on the lawn. There will be several shots of these. All were Asians.

Couples with hormones.
Get a room!!

Weddings
