From Paris, with Louvre

Paris


Dear dedicated reader,

Greetings from Paris! Comment allez vous? I heard there was a terrible windstorm back home; please let me know that all the cows are alright. Say hello to Bessie for me, but don't linger - she's a real talker, that one! She'll talk your ears numb if you let her.

In the coming days, I'll be sending out a few tasty morsels (or morels, if you prefer les champignons) for your literary digestion, which are as follows: a recap of what we will have seen, done, eaten, and sipped in Paris; a recap of the trip's beginning, the beautiful and wet Emerald Isle; and a very special interview with one long fella (as Colm would say) - that is, of course, Sean.

So if Bessie or her made-of-honor maid of honor asks (never told a lie, she hain't), let them know that we have reached Paris intact following a series of successful but challenging rides that brought us through the scenic and hilly vineyards of Champagne and that we plan to rest here for a few days, taking in the sights and sounds of the City of Lights (or was it blights? mites? e-vites?).

Remain in light,
Bobby
