Second Night in the City of Lights


So, our dear friend Leila invited us to have coffee with her friend Carolyn. As we left the apartment, I was observing our surroundings so I know where to go when we get lost in the City of Lights. The cars here in Paris are very small. I took a photo of a yellow car that looked like a Matchbox car. It's that small. As we took the train, and I must say, it is very clean, cleaner than the New York subway station. We stopped by to pick up Leila's daugther Tess, then as we arrived at the door, I noticed the Eiffel Tower, all I can say is, "Breathtaking". It was at that very moment that struck me..... I am in Paris! After we picked up Tess, we went to the coffee shop to meet up with Carolyn... What a sweet woman. She treated us all, and she mentioned she would have a gathering in January and we would sing karaoke. I can't wait for that day.

As I type this blog at 3:49am Paris time, my wife decided to add Carolyn to her FB, she saw that she was related to one of her cousins. We were both laughing, as if it's true, what a small world it would be because right before we left for Paris, we were at my sister-in-laws birthday party and Nicole's cousin Oliver and I were chatting about he should visit us in Paris, and he mentioned he had a relative in Paris, and it may be that Oliver's relative is Carolyn. If it's true that she is, it would be a trip if indeed Carolyn is related to Oliver and his wife. Well, it's 4am and I can't sleep again, but hey, we're in Paris. Until tomorrow, good night from Paris, or better yet, good morning. Ciao!
