Bonjour de Paris ...
Chers Amis, It is often the case that we send out a newsletter upon returning home to Paris from time spent away somewhere. This time it was a quiet few weeks spent with friends in the lovely seaside home of our friend Lois in La Baule, FR. Over the past few years, as August rolls around, this has become an annual trip for us. Due to our lighter than usual work schedule this year, we were able to stay for a considerable amount of time. We spent our time at the beach browsing through the downtown stores, cooking dinners, reading etc. Leslie and I worked on our French language skills. I played Lois' piano quite a bit. This summer Marcy and Pearl, friends from L.A., included La Baule in their French vacation so we were able to have lunch with them. Over the years that we have been going to La Baule, we have met quite a few people so it is good to catch up with them during our time there. Now that we are back in Paris and the forecast is for a few more days of 90º heat we are really missing the beach. |
