Tues. 9/30
We are here only 5 days but they have been exciting days. On the first day we lost Ginny for two whole days. We thought the whole trip would be ruined. Then Chris heard her crying in the courtyard behind the house. She had jumped out the window!
She's Back
Then we had one good (great!) day and I woke the next morning and couldn't move my hand. We spent whole day at the American Hospital in Neuilly. I had an MRI (brain scan), an X-Ray and some horrible test where they poke needles in your hand and give you electric shocks to see what's wrong. They say it's a pinched nerve and should recover by itself. After one day, I have about 65% use - but I can't type.
Considering all of that, we are having a great trip. We ARE IN PARIS! Everybody we have met (from the people we asked about the cat to the hundreds of people Christina has asked for directions have been great. We have seen no sign of anti-Americanism or anti-Semitism. Everyone has been gracious and helpful. I hope it continues.
We have eaten in a number of restaurants and I continue to be surprised how good the average restaurant is. I think it is the bread. It makes everything else taste good. I am going to post comments separately on the restaurant we have visited on the blog site so only those people who are interested need to see them. We will do the same thing with museums and other sites.
