We planned this trip to visit friends who are living there over a year ago using frequent flyer miles. Then the Dubai move came up. So now it appears we are some jet setting family going all over the place. Who would have thought...
We rented an apartment that was about 10 minutes walk and 2 metro stops from our friend's place. Here area few pictures of it.
Our first day was a little hectic. Our flight was late getting in. We were tired. We had to find Larry at the airport and our cell phones weren't working. But it all worked out. We
took t
he metro to the apartment and found Bret and Karen there waiting for us.
Later that day we picked up Samantha and Camilla from school, walked thru Invalides where Napoleon is burried, and while walking to the Bowin's apartment we got to see a rare treat - Paris police in riot gear. A student protest was going on, something to do with needing more teachers and space in schools as well as celebrating an historical protest. We did
not have the camera that day but I did find some pictures that I borrowed
from other blogs that give a good idea of what the riot police look like. Protest info
