Tried to show that The Grand Arche, Arc de Triomphe, and the obelisk lined up. The traffic and smog made it impossible, so for the last time, there they are. Enjoy or delete!
Our flight to Rome left on a Monday afternoon — this isn’t optimal, but since we booked our flight at the last minute, we had little choice. On the positive side, I got to do the Sunday afternoon rollerblade through the city of Paris.

I’ve just been working and touring with Mom and Dad during their vacation here, and I’ve gotten really far behind in the travel logs. To help me catch up, Dad covered a few weeks with some of their favorite sites and photos.
My parents arrived in France on August 28th, missing Glenn’s departure by mere hours. The first few days were straight out of the Guest Arrival three-ring binder — I showed them the métro, we went past the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, went grocery shopping and I kept them awake until a decent bedtime. The first few days were just adapting to the new time zone, and the general Frenchness.
