Day one - saved by the bells


Just when you think you have planned well enough that no one will miss you, the phone rings. Last emails, last phone calls, and last minute decisions meant Shawn and I were scrambling for the airport. Work would just not let go. Texts, emails, worries, anxiety..... Well, thank god for airport mode. We touched down in France in the morning and things just started to go right. The taxi to the apartment was easy, the apartment itself is beautiful, and our first bites of French food were not regrets. Berthellion ice cream, where have you been? That sandwich shop on Ile de Saint Louis? Ooh I have missed you. Notre Dame, my you are as lovely as the last time we met. Nearby church bells, a bride and groom in the banks of the Seine, the bass player, pianist,  violinist playing, and then church bells to top it? Tres bien.
