Aurevoir Paris

After the museum yesterday we finally made the Louvre today.Dale has succumbed to the charms of Paris- not that he'd ever admit it!My call- he says- whenever I suggest something-a it of a change of attitude from the first museum and church resistant days in Paris. Anyhow years of car related diversion of the mind deserves some reward-fair is fair, I feel.
Sick of being long suffering facilitator while resenting the mind elsewhere of my huband- worrying more about car related matters than other things which I feel should have more priority.
D survived the Louvre visit and I enjoyed it- the objects d'arte section was the first priority and we managed to see some French painting and napoleons apartments as wel. Memories dim after 30 years and the size of the Louvre is something I had forgotten- we only saw a fraction of it in 5 hours!
Off on the bateau mouche for a cruise up and down the Seine- great photo then home to pack. Chatted to a chap going to the Rugby tonight had an English shirt on so I presumed he is English- turns out he was French- from the country barracking for them against the Sth Africans.packed for Chassaing- don'tknow ifwell have access to email so this may be the last one for a while.Car OK and Accommodation is OK- checked by phone. Off to dinner tonight at the good place over the road. Said goodbye to Helene and told her how we appreciated her hospitality-would definitely stay here again.
