A 25th anniversary in Paris

Lane and Pat celebrated their 25th anniversary in Paris. He planned it all at the American church, hired a photographer, discussed flowers and all details.

A walk by the Seine near Pont Neuf

Here they are happily walking by the Seine.  Pat had an idea that something special was going to happen but she was not sure what. At any rate, she was thrilled.

Sitting at Tuileries

A short break at Tuileries gardens. I am noticing that some leaves are already falling. There has been a lot of wind in Paris this year and rain yes, but not that much.

At Rodin’s statue near Musee de l’Orangerie

Still crazy after all those years.  I love that spot in the Tuileries. I think Lane and Pat liked my idea! It was fun to spend time with a happily married couple who enjoy each other’s company a lot. We have an appointment to meet for their 50th!

July 08 at Eiffel Tower

It is 10:00 pm on July 11, a beautiful night to go to Eiffel tower to see it illuminated in blue. It starts “sparkling” when I am near the merry-go-round.

Evening near Eiffel Tower

At 10:30 there is still plenty of color in the sky.

Eiffel Tower on July 11

At 11:00 it sparkes again but sky is dark by now. Fireworks are scheduled at 10:45 on July 14 for Bastille day.

K and R at market

When two pretty California girls walk around a Parisian market they are bound to get some attention!
