Lorraine's First Week

Lorraine has been her for a week already. I can't believe how fast time flies while we are here. We have been busy exploring the city. Lorraine tried it by herself one day and ended up so lost, Lori had to get in a cab and go get her. Since then, we've kept her close. We met friends of Lorraine's from St. John's for lunch one day and I took her over to the shopping mall by Lori's work on another. Lorraine shopped while I watched a movie. As a side note, Vincent Vega was telling the truth in Pulp Fiction, you can get a glass of beer at a Paris movie theatre.We went to the Jardin du Luxembourg. It's a great place to sit and read a book or eat your lunch.

We stopped into the Great Canadian Pub for a Caesar (the only place in Paris you can get one).

Last night we took a dinner cruise on the Seine. The food was great and the sights were incredible. The Eiffel Tower was lit up by the time we finished. It is so beautiful at night.

Today is Mommy-Daughter Day. Lorraine and Lori are touring around the city on one of the Hop On/Hop Off buses and then are going up the tower this afternoon. If you plan ahead, you can buy tickets for a specific time and you won't have to wait in the enormous line.

Tomorrow we are going to the south of France for a few days. We are staying at a resort near Montpellier. The weather forecast there is much better than Paris. Sunny and in the high 20's all weekend. We are looking forward to it.
