Today was our day in the LOUVRE, the world's most commemorated art musuem, which of course was amazing. Once I saw Cupid & Pysche, the Raft of Medusa, the Venus de Milo and La Joconde, I was done... I need not see another piece of art for awhile. Except now I really really want to go buy the DaVinci Code (starring the one and only....) when I get home. We had quiche and tarts at a cafe near the Louvre, and I did some souvenir shopping after that. One of our student's birthday is today, so we are going out tonight to celebrate.
Other than that, Paris is lovely. Our hotel isn't as nice as the one in London, but you win some you lose some. The keyboards on their computers are COMPLETELY different, so typing this is near impossible. And, for the record, I was indeed in London while GWB was there. Obviously I didn't get to see him, but I did get to see the tons of protestors dressed as grim reapers wearing GWB masks. Hmmmm. I'm getting away from this terribly frustrating keyboard asap!!! Maybe by tomorrow my fingers will cooperate with my brain :)

Good Morning (for it is now morning in the Homeland). I am thinking by the end of this week you may well be ready for a break from Art and Museums. I can hardly wait to see all your pictures...ESPECIALLY those in front of the Eiffel Tower. Don't let a little old keyboard get the better of you...as we say here on the Plains when such things occur... c'est la vie! Manana, Jerie

Margs--- Reeners, your Mom and I were watching family videos last night frfom Colorado in 1997 (you were 10...). We were sitting outside at our favorite pizza place in Frisco after our bike ride and you weren't looking very pleased at the moment...soooo, I asked you if you were having fun. Your response: "yes, if you call riding around all day and having a sore but fun, then I am having fun..."....we'll have to play it for you...we laughed heartily...
