It was one of those once in every 10 year travel days that go so smoothly you keep waiting for a blip in the plans. I guess we got those out of the way yesterday. Our flight out on Tuesday evening was empty and left early. Pierce slept for 4 of the 7.5 hours and was content to chill out watching George the rest of the time. Paris greeted us with sunny skies and about 35 degrees which seemed a lot warmer with the sun. Our good karma continued on the drive into Paris, as we somehow managed to skirt rush hour.
The apartment is perfectly parisian, with immense charm but still all the modern conveniences you need. As they say, location is everything and this apartment is smack dab in the middle of the Marais, about 50 yards from the Places de Vosges. Pierce treated Mom and Dad to a relaxing 2 hour wine soaked lunch while he napped in his stroller. Pure heaven! We, in turn treated him to a local park when he woke up and he promptly charmed the local ladies who were clamoring to help him on the 'big kid' equipment.
Yes, it's been only the first evening and Paris has indeed cast her spell again. Or maybe that is the Kronenbourg that we stocked up on at the market. Damn drinking and writing. :)
