Not much silence, solitude or simplicity in my life for the next week, although I’ve started out okay: I didn’t go to Hershey Park with the grandkids. Good choice since I’m quite afraid of heights and have no interested in getting my body jerked around in some swirling little car, up high or on the ground.
But today I’m flying to Paris with my grandson (age 14), granddaughter (11) and their mother, my daughter . A chance of a lifetime, as the expression goes. We’ve rented an apartment for the week on the Ile de la Cite right behind Notre Dame Cathedral . We have Paris passes that get us into everything except the Eiffel Tower, but we’ll be sure to climb to the top anyway. We plan to walk the Champs Elysees, eat crepes in Luxembourg Gardens, wander the Louvre, and take a train to Versailles. That’s on our itinerary so far, but we’re open to adventure.
As I said, I won’t be living in silence, solitude or simplicity, but who would want to when in Paris with people you love and who are piles of fun? I’ll be blogging from Paris, but not in French.
