It’s amazing the amount of territory you can cover when you have someone leading the way that’s been there, done that.  My new friend Mary (she saw the article in the Charlotte Observer) hired me over the weekend to show her my Paris.  I don’t know who had more fun – her or me!  I love this city so much and showing it off to someone who’s never been here before makes me so happy!

From Friday to Sunday, we visited or saw by bus, métro and many, many footsteps, the Opera, Eiffel Tower, Place de la Concorde, Tuileries Gardens, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Pont Neuf, Isle de la Cité, Isle Saint-Louis, St. Sulpice, shopping on Cherche-Midi, Bon Marché, Deyrolle, Printemps, Galeries Lafayette, Bastille Market, rue des Rosiers, the river Seine “beaches” and the Hotel de Ville.

Whew!  She’s on her way back to London and I’m going to soak my feet and take a nap….
