I too thought that I would love to return and to ride on that train with my grandchildren, who were, at that time, mere dreams. But at that time I still dreamed of many more trips to Paris.<br /><br />I think we made it our first trip because we stayed in the 16th, in a hotel that had been the apartment complex my spouse lived in as a child. He would "play" in that park, play being in quotes because good children in those days, at least good Austrian children, played neatly and quietly and weren't allowed to muss their clothes. Still he had very fond memories of the park.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-69667402966837283572011-04-08T10:11:07.907-07:002011-04-08T10:11:07.907-07:00Pseu: I love the city, but we're always happy ...Pseu: I love the city, but we're always happy to get a bit of nature and a good stretch.<br />Lorrie: I've been following the weather back home and it sounds quite dire compared to the warmth here -- but at least the daffodils are cheering you! and I'll get a second spring when I get back.<br />Susan: I think I need to keep a little map!

But that only works for so long.)Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-6417113789405139152011-04-08T02:05:03.684-07:002011-04-08T02:05:03.684-07:00Where did this weather come from, it is amazing.
O...Where did this weather come from, it is amazing.<br />Oh, how I empathise with you on the toilet front, I have had so many bad experiences in Paris from an early age looking for them, it can ruin a visit, so well done for finding them!indigo16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16982477144454205765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-53911759428611970202011-04-07T18:31:38.380-07:002011-04-07T18:31:38.380-07:00Ha, you created such urgency in this post.Ha, you created such urgency in this post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-1714711181829248482011-04-07T14:51:45.817-07:002011-04-07T14:51:45.817-07:00Oh yes, les toilettes can be difficult to spot!
