CS: Moulin Rouge on the outside, red whirlwind indoors. The decor is plush and universally red, from the wallpaper (what we could see of it) to the waiters' neatly fitting jackets.

a cheer up post election
thank you for cheering me up. I needed to see those beautiful photos and hear your tales of adventures. I have been in post election deep depression!! I well remember Moulin Rouge! And Montmartre. Fitzgerald and I were conned into having our portraits sketched by one of the ubiquitous artists of the area. Fitz ended up looking like Hitler and I looked about 16!! The trip sounds lovely. Saw Denise on Monday. Minka has settled in well. Sleeps with Jess each night, wanders out to the back yard and back in again, some 'meowing' but overall settled in well. Jess loves her. We had our writing group at Kathryn's. You were missed. Alexis had a story for the Repulican competition and my "look into my eyes' story had a review. Not sure where to send it but need to ponder on it. We've made some executive decisions in you absence. We eventually convinced Kathryn that we all bring a plate for our lunches to avoid the marathon efforts of past. And that we have an alcohol kitty and the person who hosts buys the wine, juice whatever. Hope that's OK from your point of view. I think it will be easier. The next meeting is at Alexis in October. Look forward to seeing you on your return. xx Bev

Hi Susan and fellow travellers I am watching your journey from afar and very envious. It looks fabulous and the photos are one tease after another. I look forward to your next entry and wish you a faboulous trip. Carolyn
