Le Chateau et Les Singes

Seems like I have less and less time to write my blog, c'est domage. Alec et moi must be too busy having fun. And so I created a photo collage of Paris for your enjoyment. We were only in Paris for a day and night. When Alec saw the Eiffel Tower he said "that's the most famous hunk of metal in the world." We drove through Paris at night and many of the monuments were brightly lit. During the next day we visited Notre Dame de Paris. Just outside the Cathedral many children gathered to feed the birds pieces of baguettes. It seemed to me that more people were taking photos of the birds than the cathedral. I will not comment about this.
In the plaza in front of Notre Dame there is a brass plack that reads Point Zero. All roads in Paris flow from this point. When Gilles mentioned the history of Point Zero. Alec said "I think this is more important than Notre Dame . I will not comment upon this statement. And now onto the castle and the monkeys. Stay tuned and I will post again soon. Oops, I forgot to blog about Bliesburg, an arceological park with an incredible exhibt from Pompeii.

Very depressing Jude! When are you coming home. Dev is off to Zoo camp for the week. We are driving to NJ on Saturday after the boys' 4th birthday party. Its a pirate birthday - very exciting.

Call when you can. This week I'll be alone everyday after 9ish (am). Perhaps we could have a peaceful conversation. I think that would be about 4pm your time.

I still have not won the lottery, I do not nderstand it. Perhaps by the time you get home. We'll have to wait and see.

Elaine has over 4 deer tick bites and will not go to the doctor.
Pumpkinhead fell off a ladder and hurt his previously broken leg. Dev hasn't seen him in over 3 weeks.
Stu is still going to mass.
St. Andrews still stands - life is good - this could be the week I win the Lotto!
Love, Eileen
