Paris, France

Bonjour! We arrived in Paris on Monday evening after our first big travel mishap. We picked one of the biggest vacation weeks in Spain to fly to Paris. Because of several factors we missed our flight to France and had to buy a second set of tickets. A big hit to the budget. We arrived hours later and exited the airport to find pouring, and we mean pouring rain. The rain has continued and is expected to continue. So we just bundle up and out we go. We have seen the Eiffel Tower, the Marais district, Notre Dame and several other major sites. The city is very beautiful in spite of the wind and weather. We are looking forward to a wine tasting we have planned tomorrow (Saturday) where we will be educated on the french wine, the regions, and taste 7 different wines and some cheese. We currently have a brief break in the rain and are heading out to see what we can -before it begins again. We are here until Tuesday when we head to the winery to work for two weeks as a part of www.wwoof.org. We are looking forward to meeting our hosts who are following along on this blogsite. We hope all of you are making your final holiday plans. Remember if you want to join us in Thailand, we fly to Bangkok on Dec. 31 and are heading straight to the beach, Ko Chang, on the eastern shore, then Ko Mak. Check it out on the map and secure your tickets, we would love to see you. For now, au revoir mon amis. We shall talk soon.
