A Long Day of Driving

We are home from our week in Paris now. We breakfasted on mini-quiches and croissants from a bakery on Bouldevard de Magenta in Paris this morning, and we are heating up dried soup packets on the stove in our Neumarkt "home away from home" for a very late dinner tonight. (That's what you get if you're too late in coming home in Germany and don't feel like going out to a restaurant-- all the stores close by 8 pm and no stores of any kind are open on Sundays, either, so we'll be scrounging tomorrow!) It was about a 7 hour drive, more or less (a little tricky, trying to figure out how to get out of Paris).

It was a very good week, getting to visit and revisit some favorite places that B and I had seen on our 1989 honeymoon trip to Paris. And we had better weather in Paris than we've had so far in Germany, where it has been cool and rained at least for a bit every day. There was some rain in Paris, but we had lots of sun and some heat, so that was nice. In August, I like to have a little warmer weather!

I'll write more about the trip tomorrow, just wanted to check in for now. A bientot!
