La Commedia è Finita!

Today we finished packing and went to CDG airport for the flight home. Air France pilots were on strike so some of their passengers were shifted to our flight which made the flight fairly full. We arrived on time and got home about 5:00 pm. Almost ready to leave for Orlando the next morning with a flight at 8:15 am.

We have enjoyed doing this blog for you and for us.

We will be starting another in the next week or so. It is called

This is the last day of out three month adventure.

We went to the Saint Germain area where we walked around for a while to say goodbye to one of our favorite neighborhoods. We went to the Deux Magots for our last hot chocolate of the stay. It was thick and very chocolaty. We sat for about an hour and did our usual people-watching. We took the bus back and did some preliminary packing before going out to dinner. We walked about ten blocks to get to a restaurant in the eleventh that we had been to several years ago. Its name is Chardenoux. It is a classic bistrot with many of the usual types of classic cuisine. We both had someof our favorites, Coquille St Jacques (scallops) for Alexandria and Confit de Canard for Erwin. After the meal we walked back to the apartment on our last stroll.
