Au clair de la lune....


To spend your last night at the end of a magical year in the City of Light with the moon full (and the sky clear!), is a storybook ending...
We are almost (you are never really 100% ready!) to come home, and we are looking forward to shoveling snow, persuading our cats that we really are worthy to live with them, sorting out all those bags (what did we bring home???... and do we really need soap from Provence, sel de normandy, those clothespins I bought at 1 Euro shop on some back street in Venice???), and getting to see everyone.

After the morning of taking care of all kinds of loose ends --emails, instructions about the telephone and internet disconnections, confirming our flights, and still packing (will it ever end???), we did what is best when you are in Paris (well, and eat too... so we had crepes...).





It has been cold --as evidenced by the snow you see-- interesting to know that this snow fell last Monday and it has been sunny all week. The snow has not evaporated --because the sun is so low in the sky... but, spring is already showing up in the flower markets!




We are leaving in the morning... I thank all of you who have read my musings (and my political commentary --I want credit for not mentioning Gaza or Bush Le Pire's lame attempts to salvage his legacy...). This just ends a chapter... and I have always wanted to do this...
