Arrival

It's now 8 am on Sat & we arrived last night at 8 pm.  Lots of traffic as the Paris air show is in progress, so it took almost an hour to get to the apartment. Dumped our luggage and went out & walked around, had a glass of wine until about midnight. Watched the roller bladers in front of Notre Dame, walked along the Seine, but never found the fireworks. A little chilly but comfortable with a light jacket. Today will get some provisions for the apartment --bread, cheese, wine, diet coke for Peter etc. The apt is miniscule, but what I expected, and very pretty & functional. The one surprise is that each bedroom has a shower & lavatory but there is only one toilet-- a totally separate room the size of an airplane restroom that also has a sink. It will work fine but is the one thing I didn't understand in the description. The bells of ND are ringing, as they do every 15 minutes - playing Ave Maria.
