Friday, June 22, 2012 Paris day 1

Ford and I started our very long trip in Hartford, CT. We took a small plane to Toronto. Everyone on the plane had both a window AND an aisle seat. There was a long layover and then the long flight to Paris. Ford was quite pleased - his seat companion was a young French girl. They were chatty until she went to sleep.
Here is Ford hanging out in the airport.

The shuttle van from the airport took the strangest route that I have ever seen. I had NO IDEA where we were and never spotted the Eiffel tower until we were almost to the apartment. Marie was getting very worried.

After a snack and a short nap, we decided to walk around to soak up some sun and fresh air.


Guess where!
We walked from the apartment to the tower, then to the Arc de Triumph, down the Champs élysées, over to the river and then stopped at a Brasserie for dinner on our way home. It was at least a 3 hour walk.
Ford and I both slept really really well.
