Paris, September 30 - October 7, 2011

We took the Eurostar train from Ashford International in Kent under the English Channel to Paris on Friday morning at 9:50 am, arriving at Gare du Nord by 1 pm, Central Europe Time. We took a cab to the very lovely Hotel Scribe, where Pat now stays on business trips. Here are some highlights of Paris in the Fall, where it continued hot, sunny and clear for much of the week! And guess who didn't pack a lot of summer clothes!
