What a hoot about getting turned about! This happened to me in that neighborhood one evening and I still can't figure out how as we'd walked Rue Mouffetard and Rue Monge several times. I think it is that narrow lanes with multi-story buildings block taller landmarks from view. I'm glad you were so well received at the police station and not far from home base after all!<br />Now, about all that wine. . .<br />-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-44225645659701766112009-05-28T16:22:43.152-05:002009-05-28T16:22:43.152-05:00What a nice healthy meal !What a nice healthy meal !Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312782138551093957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-68177747360076517652009-05-28T02:14:54.086-05:002009-05-28T02:14:54.086-05:00Sue, You really live there?

Hey, that's me now! HA<br /><br />You are all correct. Getting lost in Paris is fun but it was mixed with a little bit of angst (because I was trés stupide to forget the street) and a bit of exhaustion. I have a map that will never leave the camera bag and the camera bag never leaves moi! <br /><br />Metro went pretty well. Melissa has it down better than I . I"ll get there surely. We are counting on Peter to teach us the way to use the bus. It stops at our front door!<br /><br />AH,<br />We ordered two glasses of vin blanc the last time and got two BOTTLES!
