We got into Atlanta without any problems, but we found out that our flight into Paris was going to be leaving an hour late. I thought that they'd make it up in the air, but we were at least an hour late landing in Paris on Friday morning, and it took us almost an hour to get through customs, get our luggage and meet my brother at the pick up area.
Once we got to Jeff's house we got settled, then Mother and I went to the Eiffel Tower. When we got home, we decided to take a little nap and try to catch up on the jet lag. We had a typical French dinner of cheese, tomatoes, and bread with olive oil and basil...and of course wine. Yummy.
Saturday, Carson had his first communion ceremony and the came back, had lunch and started getting ready for Carson's birthday party...blowing up balloons, etc. My brother Jeff and his wife Mary Jane, my mother and I went to Montmartre and had dinner in this quaint little cafe, then went to the Au Lapin Agile for a French musical show. It was a little different. We had to sit on small wooden stools and after an hour and a half, we were ready to go. We walked up the the hill to the square and had a glass of wine, then took a cab back home.
Sunday we got up and blew up more balloons and decorated the courtyard for Carson's 8th birthday. They had 15 little boys at this party, so mother and I went back to Montmartre and toured the Sacre Coeur...back home, had a little champagne and then went out to dinner at Cafe La Jatte for mother's day. It was a wonderful evening.
Today, mother and I went to the Notre Dame and the Pantheon. They were simply breath taking. So much history. I had already been to Notre Dame, but not the Pantheon. The architecture is so amazing! On the way back to the metro, we stopped by a little cafe for a quick piece of pizza. We came back around 4:30 and decided to just relax for a while.
I'll try to upload pictures later if I can figure out how to do it from Mary Jane's computer!
