After the unanticipated flight delays of 3 individuals being ‘detained’ and the screeching howls of a child who wanted to keep our plane awake, we arrived! It feels great to be back in Europe and Paris is just as it was last year… beautiful.

Since our adventures are just beginning, I do not have much to report, except that Bertillon’s to-die-for vanilla ice cream will certainly be a more than acceptable, albeit bank breaking, replacement for this year’s gelato free trip, the next three days on Paris’s super-convenient Metro are going to result in a pair of thunder thighs and it’s almost midnight and my tummy is rumblin’ (you know what that means!).

Tah tah!

P.S. The iPad data plans are fantastic, fyi.
