Back to Reality

Me and my nephew, Jonathan, who's been
living and studying in Paris since last June.
We got home from our Paris trip late Tuesday night.  I spent all day yesterday doing laundry and restocking the kitchen. And today I'm watching Jonah.  Welcome back to reality!

We did have a good trip with no travel challenges.  However, in the middle of our second night, I was hit hard with a virus, which made dealing with jet-lag especially rough.  And, because Jim always has trouble with jet-lag, that means this trip it took both of us a good five days before we were 100%, leaving us with only three really good days.

Happy birthday, Notre Dame!
Nevertheless, we powered through and did a lot of touring, even taking day trips to Brussels, Belgium, and Tours, Versailles, and Fountainebleau, France. We also ate some fantastic food and experienced a historical moment.  Notre Dame Cathedral turns 850 this year.  In celebration, she received new bells and we were there when they rang for the first time!
