In 1965 Dave and I took a Air France airline weekend package to Paris. It was called the "Paris a-go-go weekend. " And go-go we did. There weren't too many free moments, day or night. This is a photo of me and my friend Katie in front of our hotel, The Claridge. Very nice place and still there. They were having the coldest winter since WWII and everything was rather gray. In spite of the weather, Paris had a very profound effect on me and is still my favorite city. We took a bus to the city from the airport, we came around a corner and there was the Eiffel Tower. It brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't believe I was really seeing it. Goodness, it looked just like the history books!Wednesday, September 24, 2008
A blast or two from the past!

I love these photos! They're wonderful. I, too, love Monsieur Eiffel. Ask Shawn sometime about the first time we saw him. Or what I thought was him. :)
I love Paris, too! I was there during a cold December as well. I also love that it looks like Mary Poppins was playing at the movie theater next to your hotel!

Yes, Karen it was! Dave noticed that after I posted the blog. I don't know what that tugs at my heart by it does! lum
