Bienvenue au Paris!

Photos of the day...
1 - Lizzie did it again and was the hostess with the mostest by having "her" car service pick us at the door and taking us to the train station (the ladies especially say THANK YOU!) If it had been left up to the Grossmann/Keck cousins you might have seen us fighting the luggage on the underground. Photo - John & Judy at the station with time to spare.
2 - Some of the happy crew on board the high speed train via the Chunnel to Paris. The women won again & got the men to part with a few extra dollars for better seats and wine and food! The trip was great and fast - as advertised.
3 - The lobby of the Hotel Jean d'Arc where we're staying in Paris. That's all of us in the mirror. Unusual frame,...
4 - Unusual room decorating - that's our room - even the lampshade matches the bed spread and, yes, that is a lavendar wall. Somehow I don't think I'll be duplicating this room back in NY.
5 - The group overlooking the River Seine on a beautiful day (why oh why did we leave all those warm weather clothes at home!)
6 - For Red's Auto shop crew - and you thought you didn't understand French!
7 - The back side of Notre-Dame Cathedral - the prettiest way to approach as far as I'm concerned.
8 - And of course you can't come to Paris without enjoying a cafe every once in a while.
9 - Just walking down the street and a whole store of nothing but cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese... am I in heaven or Paris?

And back in the states 2 folks were seen early in the morning walking along the Chicago waterfront, then getting in a red Corvette and zooming off. Could it have been....?!!
