We arrived Tuesday morning early and have been enjoying our stay. The weather, other than yesterday, has not been great -- cool, breezy, and downright chilly today. Yesterday the sun was shining, the skies were blue, the temperature was probably in the low 70s and the outdoor cafes were packed all day and night. I hope we have another one of those days before we leave on Tuesday.
We have been eating and drinking our way around Paris, and today we took a train out to Chartres, the site of a famous cathedral. Unfortunately, today was not the day to be wandering around outside (or inside an unheated church) because it was so cold. We were proud to have made it there and back and glad we went to visit Chartres, but we didn't stay as long as we had planned. In a few hours we are off to a local pizza/pasta place, as we will be dining on French food for dinner for the duration of our stay.
Yesterday I had a bit too much coffee and wine and after dinner it caught up with me. I had a terrible coughing fit both on the way back from dinner (which was delicious by the way) and after we got to our room. Nothing helped except laying down to go to sleep, so that's what I did. So far no one has pointed at me and yelled "H1N1" (which is how they refer to it here), and I'm hoping that my break from restricted food and beverages today will reduce the coughing. I was doing quite well until last night.
Have a great weekend!
