A morning stroll


Today, I dropped the little monkey off at school and set out for a morning walk.  Temperatures are in the high 30's, sun brightly shining and the best part is the city is just waking up.  No dodging tons of people, dogs, or kids.  (They go to school before sunrise!)
The walk began at Victor Hugo Place,

continued on to the Trocadero, which is absolutely wonderful when there are no tours and throngs of people getting their first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.  A quick pass by the little monkey's favorite carousel, cross over the Seine river, under the Eiffel Tower and through to the Champ de Mars.  Make a U- turn at the Ecole Militaire and on back up to Victor Hugo via our favorite boulangerie.  Finally, back down to our apartment.   A beautiful morning walk to start the day in Paris.

Awesome! This does give me a better sense of what your life is like there.

Hi Dana, Troy, and your little monkey!

What wonderful pictures! I talked to your Mom a few days ago to wish her happy birthday, and she told me all about their trip to Paris in October and about your adventures there. Such a wonderful experience for you.

Lots of Love!
