which I hope is "what good luck" but idiomatic phrases are not my strong point. Still, driving into Paris *and* finding parking are quite a fortuitous occurrences. And how spectacularly cool it must have been to drive into Paris (though also possibly spectacularly crazy, too). :-) I bet it's gorgeous beyond description. I can't wait to see your updates. It's been a pleasure to read when you have updated, brings light to my days here in Lala land.

'fortuitous', yes. sane, no. altho the guys are quite liking the no-nonsense drive style. It was a long trek up from Gard, about 8 hours, including a short stop for lunch, and the Fete de Terroir that was being held in Quissac as we left (and you can imagine what we non-french speakers called it to annoy our only Frenchiphile!).
What a wonderful thing to do! Good for you all! It's been lovely to have these little updates - hope you continue to have a great time. But my, you missed out on a solid week of rain here - what were you thinking?
Missed you at the Monthly Local Gathering yesterday, where we had quiche in your honor.
Drink a toast to Seattle with that wine while you're there, okay?
Believe it or not, we missed the rain and comfortable temperatures up till about 5 days ago. It's blessedly cool now in Paris, and heading toward 1-2 degrees tonight. And rain tomorrow.
PotC was playing on the tiny screen in front of me on the trans-atlantic flight. I think they can get in at least 2 full showings a flight...
Don't torture me with Paris, just don't!! I was telling a friend last night about how great your travel agenda is: food, apartment, scenery, food, wine, wine, wine. I am suddenly a subscriber to the Wine Spectator, through some online offer, and I think of you and John every time it arrives. Hi to J. Eat some pate for me.
