Visitors

We happily hosted two visitors in Paris over the past few weeks: Terri Getty, my sister and Karina McIntosh, my niece.  Terri joined us in London first for a day and then five days in Paris.  She even brought the boys a little US comfort food - boxes of mac and cheese!  Terri did some exploring on her own but we had fun joining her on some adventures, like lunch at Laduree, visiting Sainte Chapelle and going up the Eiffel Tower.  Karina came for six days during her high school vacation week to practice her French.  The boys really only saw her on Sunday and each night for a couple of hours since they were at their soccer camp each day.  Karina and I, however, covered almost the entire city in 5 days!  Whew!  We were tired each night: art museums, churches, shops, monuments, etc.  She even tried her first escargots and liked them!  It was fun for me to have some GILRS to be with, for a change!
