We landed Wednesday morning and hit the ground running despite the fact that Mary and I didn't sleep the entire flight even though we were upgraded to Business! After lunch with Peter, Genie and daughter Holly, we wandered around the 1eme. Peter and I wound up the day with our feet up at the fountain in the Palais Royal gardens. Yesterday the Sempé exhibit at the Hotel de Ville and lunch at Reminet. Then Peter, Mary and I walked our feet off in the 5eme in search of some shops I had on my list. Today the Pet Cemetery and lunch with Richard Nahem and Zabie Johnson. We're on our way to Eric Tenin's for a party of bloggers and many of his Paris friends. A computer/French Google snafu has caused a delay in reporting. I hope to put up another post in a day or two.

Eh bien, someone is having entirely too much fun! I would have loved visiting the Sempé exhibit with you. Hopefully you will have some photos to share. Amuse-toi bien, Virginia! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Most importantly~
enjoy!
We will be here when you get home.
Ciao~~
Fantastique!!! From what I'be heard, the weather has been warmer than normal. You picked a great time to go.
I have been getting photos emailed to me from Paris from my coworkers who are there. They say now that the boss has left for home I'll start getting many more. It's like my own personal PDP in my mailbox.
BTW - I love the music on your site!
Goodo ... that sky sure does look good. What a social-social whirl is Paris for you!
I know the Paris news is of most excitement, but I have to let out a discreet little Woot! for your business class upgrade, too. ;) Very nice. This gorgeous scene makes my heart glad, V, as does the vision of you and Peter soaking your tootsies in the fountain. Bisous...
Virginia is a busy girl. Sounds like fun. You can sleep when you get back here.
Glad to know Madame, you caught Paris in its best mood. Blue!
I just love (and ENVY) everything you have to say here, m'dear! Especially une soirée chez Eric & Co.—a definite highlight of my own last trip to Paris! Glad you're having such a great time.
How utterly delightful! One day, I hope to spend an evening in that excellent company!
So glad the sky is blue for you all.
V, You can never have TOO much fun! Enjoy every minute. Glad you're having such good weather as well.
Virginia, a friend has asked me to recommend a coffee table book on the cafe life of Paris (and France). How it started, how it is cherished and why. Plus plenty of examples. Quick ... off the top of your head ...
i can see you are having a wonderful time, freezing here in nyc
Enjoy Paris!!!!
I like these little reports. It's a little like being there with y'all.
A Montpellier aussi.
et...comment ça va là-bas?
To be in Paris with blue skies, good friends and to soak it all up sounds like my idea of fun. Enjoy!
Sounds like you're having a blast of a time 'a Paris, V de B! I'm off to the wedding of a CDP blogger departing on Wednesday.....
Oh I am so behind my blogs!! You lucky girl in Paris!!!! Have a wonderful time!!!
Oh, too much fun!
Kisses to Eric from me!
Love the photo -- seeing the architecture makes me feel as though I am there. And that blue sky, lucky you! Glad that you will be able to do some live updates, though I know that you must be completely exhausted when you get back to the apartment. Keep on having fun!
The weather this weekend is just perfect to wander about in Paris, isn't it? Wishing you a good time!
God bless you!

What a wonderful time you are having. And I saw you met up with the delicious and oh so talented Carla too. Lucky you. Lucky her. Looking forward to more. Big kiss to Peter and Happy Birthday to Eric, bien sur.
How delightful! Look forward to more postings....
How did you like the Pet Cemetery ??? Sounds like great fun in any case...
Owen, yes did like the Pet Cemetery and look forward to seeing you today after lunch!
Thanks so much for keeping us up to date Virginia, as someone above said, it's the next best thing to being there with you. Happy that you're having skies of blue, it makes things so much easier. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy and bring back lots of fabulous images.
