Paris Notes: 2

The past week and a half has been filled with friends and visitors. It's great to have visitors when we're in Paris, because it brings a new rhythm to our days and it's fun to share the experience with others. So far, it's been really great--highlights include:

• An invitation to the home of a French couple who call Paris their home. Their warm welcome and willingness to put up with my less then perfect French won't be forgotten.


• Participation in "Nuit Blanche" with friends Narissa and Tony. Without them we would probably never have gone Cafe hopping to watch the final minutes of the Rugby match between France and New Zealand (France won) nor gone walking at the Tuilleries which were lit up with hundreds of open torches, and burning sculptures.


• Spending time with Scott and Jory eating great food, touring Champagne country and going to a cooking class.
