Little bit of jet lag from "She who must be ....". We took the Metro to the Champs Elysee not the Place de la Concorde. I could tell the ankle must be starting to give gyp when I led "She" down the wrong metro tunnel. We ended up on the travelator that stopped working and we walked for rather a long way. I cunningly avoided the death glares but I regret to announce the deaths of several hundred Parisiennes.
St Germain du Pres is in the Latin quarter or left bank - close to the river Seine and lots of famous things. The Tom tom is not working, so thats a bit annoying. We are about to go on-line and check it out. Quite a lot of things don't work in Paris. The TV in our hotel room for example is stuck on channel 20. Would be fascinating no doubt except channel 20 is more or less a blank screen. I suspect this is still more interesting than many European channels.
Our latest quest is to find a little restaurant and have a glass of french wine. Last time we were in this part of Paris (many years ago) I waved away a red rose seller. Have no fear about me making the same mistake. If that same person comes along tonight I will purchase 2 doz red roses.
Cheers,

Both of your posts made me laugh aloud (or as the youth say lol). It's not often anyone has reason to feel sorry for the French, however I do feel for the poor innocents faced with the full force of a jet lagged death glare.
ReplyDeleteLoved the pic of Mum!
Our memory of French tv was that most of the channels were porn. So I guess you are missing out.
Flynn and I have just got back from Tracy's where we played catch and ate piklets. He is now sleeping and long may that last. The house is echoing with the sounds of 'no don't want'!!
Off to hang out the washing and other such domestic duties.
All is well and happy here:)
Love Isabella, Ferdinand and Juan
