Paris

OMG. Arrived CDG airport @8:05 this am. Took hour and half to find 'valises' ; customs just a smile & a stamp ☺ Welcome to Paris. Raining and gray just like home. About noon we're finally @ Huegette Brunel's 'chambre d'hote (b&b). I'm sitting infront of a wall of window w/ a cup of white tea, looking out over Paris w/ balconies & terraces and narrow streets & the first place I see in the market area when we surfaced from underground was pastry shop. We must stop on our way to musee d'orsay M says museum? I said art gallery!! I remember.

Flight very tolerabe. Didn't seem that long but I watched the Fugitive, interspersed w/ wine and snacks and a lovely chicken breast salad w/ black beans & corn and tomatoes, side of fresh fruit. Kudos to Delta air - everything complimentary! Breakfast @1:30 -not so good. Egg McMuffin better. :(  Been up since 5:30 yesterday am

We walked a thousand miles in airport, train station and metros. 40 years ago I was a whole lot younger. Fifty million stairs w/ no escalators or elevator.

Off again insearch of food and sites. I have attempted French. It's embarrassing but I will not give up!!
