Surprised all three with a special moment and memento.
8-second video: Serendipity dialed me in at exactly the right time. The Eiffel Tower is lit up every night, but it only sparkles the first five minutes of each hour and we happened to catch it in the middle of a dance party.

Still daylight. Charmaine is from Perth.

We laughed consistently all day, everyday.

Time well spent.

card clue game
Our Romanian activities director created this card game. We played a few cards. It didn’t go viral, but was still fun. ‘Buna’ is Romanian for hello.

To say today was amazingly ordinary, and amazingly extraordinary, is true.

Caudebec France day 1, home

Hitler posing in Paris with Eiffel Tower
There were 42 attempts on Hitler’s life. The 43rd was self-directed.

Hitler was in Paris for probably three hours. That’s it.
