Spring!

A lot of folks are telling us that this has been a cool and wet spring, but I've really been enjoying it.  From our trips to the beaux villages of Provence...
 

 
 
 
To nearby Vizille...
 
 
 
 
 
Even in the Jardin de Ville in town...
 
 
 
 
 
Or nearby Sassenage...

Images of Paris

Over the next few days (April 28 - May 3) we covered the major Parisian sights,
Notre Dame...


  

 
 

Some other spots...



The Louvre...

 






 
 The Eiffel tower...


 
 Versailles...







Montmarte...
 
And I even got to catch a little atmospherics on a rainy evening...

April in Paris (just a bit)

For the 2nd week of school holidays we headed to Paris. We are trying to focus on the things that make Paris Paris, and not Paris France (since we have 6 months in France). So far it's just the beauty of the city, the world-class sites and art that seem to say "Paris" to us.
