Arriving in Paris.

Flew over night. Landed around 11am Paris time. Went fast through customs. Got to where were staying and waited. Texted owner and our friends and went to local patisserie to eat and wait. Yum!

Our friends arrived with the keys and we settled in. (See extra.) There were eight of us who walked to a wonderful restaurant called "Au Passages" where we had all kinds of small gourmet foods to share, finishing with roast lamb shoulder and potatoes. It was a delicious fun-filled time and then we walked back to our apartment.

The younger gals went back out for drinks while the women of a certain age headed off to bed. Helen, Elisa and I had only slept an hour or two on the plane so sleep was welcome.

At 4am my phone rang. It was Lynda who didn't realize I was in Paris. Helen and I were awake then and we talked awhile before going back to sleep. It was a good first day.
