Paris, France.


The Eiffel Tower

After seeing friends and saying farewells, we took off for Paris. We are staying here for a week with an old friend, Rachel, with her hubby Pierre, and one year old Adrien. I knew Rachel from my first scientific research job back in Cambridge in 1992.

Our trip to Juvisy-sur-Orge where they live, proved rather interesting as we were stuck with our large packs on the train in the middle of rush hour and to make it worse...in the midst of a heat wave. The journey which took three hours from the airport to their apartment, included some frustrating conversations with the locals as we both struggled to regain what French we have! Mush
