I appreciated my surroundings so much more and didn't have the compulsion to pack in every experience possible in the time available. I don't like to think about the lack of years ahead, but I do know that I will continue to travel as long as it is possible. Enjoy every minute of your trip and may you have the best experience ever.Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-33429473890337310802016-10-20T20:00:17.407-04:002016-10-20T20:00:17.407-04:00So glad to hear from you from time to time.

Actually, boulangeries are open very early, but I can understand not wanting to go out when it is still quite dark. <br /><br />And I'm sure you'll find some charming spots with less formidable bills of fare. lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-10253469306905743152016-10-20T12:29:03.351-04:002016-10-20T12:29:03.351-04:00Oh Paris!

The fountain at Luxembourg Gardens looks so beautiful. <br />You have captured the essence of Paris with this post....wandering along the boulevards and stopping at a cafe to rest and perhaps indulge in a little bit of people watching while sipping a beverage....ah! <br />Enjoy and please share more when you return. hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-973045377335876092016-10-20T12:11:51.452-04:002016-10-20T12:11:51.452-04:00You always write beautifully, but Paris and dawn a...You always write beautifully, but Paris and dawn and jetlag have conspired to yield a post that I find just wonderful. You capture so much of what my Paris encompasses -- and Paul's as well, I think. And that doesn't require getting to the latest cool areas or the best new restaurants or loading my case with new goodies -- not that I'm averse to any of those treats. But there's something that goes beyond the material in this perhaps most material of cities, and you've put your finger on it so effectively. Enjoy your time here, at yours and Le Duc's perfect pace. And perhaps wave in my direction (and should you get bored with Paris and want a quick jaunt to Bordeaux . . . ;-) materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-51436865405116138092016-10-20T11:51:23.634-04:002016-10-20T11:51:23.634-04:00You write beautifully.

I worried that it would affect the way I feel about travelling but, so far, it hasn't. I still love seeing new places--I just have to explore them at my own pace. There are destinations that I had always wanted to visit--Antarctica, for example--which I know I'd be unable to tolerate now. Still, there are more places to see on this beautiful planet than I will ever get around to visiting. <br /><br />I hope you and your husband have a wonderful stay. We spent a glorious month in Paris in 2013 to celebrate my husband's retirement from teaching. What an amazing city it is!

Someday soon I hope.<br /><br />I can't help but compare your approach to life changes to that of some other friends. They seem to have decided if they can't travel in the way they have always done, they won't do it at all. Such a shame. An unexpected physical challenge has forced me to think about travel in a different way. I hope to be flexible and enjoy what I can do rather than bemoan what I can't do. You are a great example of accepting change and getting the best out of life. Thank you and enjoy your trip.LauraHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402103522466794364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-49259685170569821082016-10-20T09:01:25.019-04:002016-10-20T09:01:25.019-04:00I hope that you and Le Duc enjoy your "nostal...I hope that you and Le Duc enjoy your "nostalgie".

I love to hear you speak about the realities of travel as we get older - and even though we have to slow down (and take those small breaks from walking) - in a way I think it enriches the experience - that we actually see more - be it the changes since our last trip - the beautiful shop windows, or just all those people walking by.<br /><br />Enjoy both the walks - and the rests.<br />Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.com
