āThe wisdom of a learned man {or woman} comes by opportunity of leisure…ā -Ecclesiastes Ā 38: 24-25
Hello… I hope you had a wonderful week!
Here are the cheese pastry puffs I shared with you in last weeks post. They were a huge success at my sweet little churchās Epiphany party.Ā recipe
The inclement weather on the Oregon coast has not only Ā been a perfect opportunity for refreshing up the cottage…but for also refreshing my memory…
by going through my notes about our anniversary trip…thereās still so much to share with you!Ā The Beginning✈️
here is…where we left off
All good things must Ā come to an end…unfortunately such was the case regarding our stay at The Ritz…(waaaa!)
so after breakfast we were ready to depart.
We planned on taking a cab back to Hotel Eiffel Turenne where we had made reservations for the next few days.
However before getting a taxi…
we decided to go for a walk through Plaza Vendome…
which was filled with fabulous shops…
and eateries.
So with camera in one hand and…
curiosity in the other
Ā we strolled the boulevard continuing along to Tuileries gardens…where we found a park bench to sit on while hearing the music of the merry-go-round…watching children playing…a group of older gentlemen playing bocce…
and…a vender who was roasting chestnuts next to a bridge…
where couples wrote their names on a lock…
then attached it on the wire of the fence…
Joe purchased a lock and I wrote our names on it…
we put it on the wired fence next to all the other locks…one day we will return
P.e.r.f.e.c.t!!!
After a wonderful afternoon we caught a taxi and returned to the Hotel Eiffel Turenne nice, but not The Ritz 😉where we would rest…before planning our next few days in Paris.
Until next time…
Bonjour!
