Day 12 Our last day Finally

Our last day. We are having company tonight, so went out for some last minute purchases. Packed a little and then went out for lunch. We chose the same thing so it made it easy.

Fish Soup


Skate Wing with green beans

We had been discussing what we wanted to do for our last day. A museum perhaps? Nothing was really exciting us. We ended up doing our favorite thing - which was just wandering around taking photos of ineresting things and talking. A fun time was had by all.

We watched the truck park between the 2 cars - a very impressive feat.

We found another Statue of Liberty:


We took a picture of ourselves at the Trocadero with the Eiffel Tower in the background. (This took many tries!!)

Finally saw a bride. She was freezing to death.

Marie in picture taking mode.

Then we went home an got ready for dinner. The guests are Philippe and Evelyne. Bill and Philippe play golf while Marie and Evelyne tag along. Evelyne has the eyes of an eagle and is the ball spotter. They used to have the wine store in the area, but retired. Perhaps we will have wonderful wine? No, they brought chocoate.

We started with gazpacho

Next came veal stew

We had cheese, salad and bread. We shared 2 small chocolate cakes for dessert.
Marie brought out two regular candles so that we could sing Happy Birthday to Philippe and Happy Anniversary to both of them.

Evelyne has 17 sisters!!! There was one boy (the last) but he died at birth. Philippe is an only child. He said it was a big adjustment when he married into such a large family. The have only one child also. Evelyne said that none of her sisters has many children. I wonder why??

We seemed to have a lot to talk about and they didn't leave until after midnight.

All good things must come to an end and this is the end of our adventure. I leave you with one last picture:
