Hello From Paris,  Sep.21, 2012

We have been here 2 days and now today we are headed out to the SW part of
France to hire a barge for a week.  Paris has been amazing AGAIN.  WE walked to Notre Dame Church yesterday.  Always amazing to see.  There were
thousands of people there.  No kidding.  Make that thousands plus 2.  Will try
to attatch a couple pictures here.  We ate ice cream at a well known and sought out shop called Berthillions.  Fantastic!   I snapped some pics of the shops fronts.    Everywhere you look there are colors, and sights here.  We walked over a bridge  locally known as the bridge of locks.  The story goes... lovers lock a pad lock onto the bridge to show their never ending love and they both keep a key.  If they ever breatk up one of them is to return and remove the lock.  the funny thing is, no one takes them off.  This bridge railing is COVERED with locks.  The kids here said they had to remove them not too
long ago because the weight it added to the bridge.  Well it may be time to
remove them all again.  There were thousands of locks.  And in the background
of that picture you can see the river Seine, right  along side Notre Dame.
Walked across the street to a bakery and got chocolate croissants for breakfast.
they are still warm!  OMG  These little jewels make the 9 hour plane ride worth it just for THEM.    I will try to keep up with this update as much as  possible.  The weather is so great here.  mid 60's at night mid 70's daytime.
Wish you could all be here with us.  Love to all.  More later.  Kay
