Today we begin a new adventure, one of our friends from Denver will be coming to visit. Don Dalby has been a friend for many years, Deb worked with him when she worked for Honeywell. And over the years we have shared home repair help, gardening help, surveying help, cabin help, etc. Don has taken care of Mapie (our cat) many times when we were out of town as well. He is in the middle of a larger trip to visit other friends he has in Ireland and has been to several countries so far, with France being this part of the adventure.
We began the day with a visit to our markets to get provisions. We needed to re-up our perishables, cheese, fruit & veg, and meat for the next few days. The back to the apartment for a lunch on the back deck, few last minute cleanup chores and out to the airport to meet Don.
We had to come back to the apartment at the height of rush hour and that was an eye opening adventure for Don I'm sure. But we made it back without incident and sat down to a nice dinner followed by an after dinner walk. We walked through our park next door and across the canal past the Museum of Science and Industry (which we haven't been to yet!) and then back in the late evening sun.
We will be touring Paris with Don for the next several days and then we're all off to La Rochelle for a few days to meet up with the Irish friends before he returns to the U.S.
