One time ends and another begins...

The day began with our last wakeup in our little loft bedroom on rue Saint Sauveur and a final walk down rue Montorgueil and ended in our home in Arizona and begins again with the dawn over the mountains we see every morning here.  

There is a time for all things and for us it is now a time for home...

...au revoir...

Here it is, finally, 8 months after we started the Camino, going home to Arizona this morning.  But it is not goodbye en anglais but rather au revoir, until we see Paris again, for surely we shall return....

And the Hegira is not yet over; there is much more to come!

A Night at the Opera

Went to the Paris Opera last night - la Clemenza de Tito by Mozart.  It really is quite a building.  Performance was good too although I have decided that Mozart is really not my favorite.

Time to pack up...one more time

The movers come early Tuesday morning, so it's time to weed out the stuff that won't go back to Virginia and figure what we really need between now and February.  Hopefully everything else fits in 500 pounds of hold baggage.  Time also to burn up the rest of the candles we brought from Germany, finish eating walnuts and drink up the last of the Calvados and Jack...like we said in April when we departed Germany...it's a pilgrimage and you can't take it all with you...

La Vue du Tour

Got to the Eiffel Tower last week and got some good pix.  Had friends visiting from Kentucky and we got back to Normandy beaches. Le Rapier in Bayeux is a wonderful restaurant.
