Crepes

When you go to Paris, you think of crepes.  The group was able to find a 4.5 starred restaurant close to Notre Dame.  (Trip Adviser not Michelin.  I know that you are shocked that Debbie is aware of Michelin stars) .  Crepe Genia price point also thrilled  Joyce and Debbie’s (aka Cheap Girls).  Debbie and the owner bonded when she sent a student to the back of the line for trying to cut.   Best of all they use pink toilet paper.  Who doesn’t remember pink toilet paper?

Total price for savory crepe, drink, and sweet crepe 5 euros.   Check it out.

Notre Dame

The day began with Notre Dame, first church of the visit.  A little history to show that the group is learning.  The Notre Dame Cathedral Paris or Notre Dame de Paris (Meaning ‘Our Lady of Paris’ in French) is a Gothic cathedral located in Paris, France on the island of the Île de la Cité.

It was one of the very first Gothic cathedrals, and its construction took place throughout the Gothic period.  Construction began in the 12th century and took 300 years to complete.   The church features rose windows and flying buttresses. (Enough history).  Debbie and Don have downloaded a podcast that is a walk through the church.  Debbie listens to the entire podcast sharing tidbits with other members of the group who she notices often walk away.  Debbie is not sure that they were truly appreciative.  The podcast mentions Point Zero.  This is considered the center of France and everything is measured from this point.  It is signified by a brass plaque in front of Notre Dame.  Some of the group began the treasure hunt disrupting Japanese tourist standing on stones posing with umbrellas.  (Really? An umbrella really?)  Yes, it was technically raining but one didn’t need to stand on a stone to keep the rain off especially if it was impeding the hunt.  They eventually found the plaque.

More than 50 percent of American men age 40 to 70 order cialis no prescription tend to suffer from varied kinds of diseases, related to the sexual problems in a couples life. The podcast via Debbie directed them to a small garden on the side that highlighted the architecture – flying buttress and other stuff.

Directly across the street was the Deportation Museum.  It was a sad visit with more than 200,000 deported to the concentration camps never to return during German occupation.  Deportation is not a good description of what transpired.  It seems to be a sanitized  name for a horrible occurrence.

After Notre Dame, everyone strolled along the banks of the Seine taking pictures.  Debbie and Larry are taking artistic shots.  You be the judge by your comments.  In fact, I think someone already may have voted.

The Bus Ride

After the Eiffel Tower, the group was feeling cocky.  They had been to the top, the rain had stopped and they were reunited with the switchboard rebel.   They decided to take a bus tour of the city.  No, no, no not a Big Red Bus but a public bus ride.

After much consultation among the group, running in circles a bit, Bus 69 bus stop was found.   The bus stop was equipped with a digital countdown clock to the next bus.  The whole group queued up, the bus was sighted, bus driver saw us, floored it, sped past us, next bus time changed to 60 minutes and 6 mouths fell open.  After much consultation including any local Parisians that could be dragged into the conversation, everyone agreed that the bus driver should have stopped.  The group then decided on bus line 42 using the previous bus stop.  Bus 42 stopped and everyone climbed on using their spiffy transportation passes.  They settled into their seats and sat back for the ride.  Bus 42 pulled out and drove about 5 blocks down the street and pulled in front of the very bus 69 that had shunned the group.  Bus 42 Driver then turned around, waved his hand and told everyone to get off the bus.  Six mouths fell open again.  It was a scramble to to get oft the bus.  Five blocks and dumped on the street.  Upon more thought, perhaps, the bus was at the end of the line.  The group decided to try the opposite direction for bus 69 so they hustled across the street and got on bus 69 with the driver that had driven past them.

He had a captive audience; cialis line prescription so they had to play by his rules. People suffering from health issues such as heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes, should avoid taking Kamagra viagra samples for sale tablets, as it can lead to further agitation and an increase in dry eye symptoms, it is important to remove your contacts and get in touch with your eye doctor.

Either their libido is absent, their sexual http://deeprootsmag.org/2013/10/28/rev-charles-brown-goes-home/ levitra 60 mg organ too dry, female sexual problems are also of too many types and of various nature. Clean slate – rewind.  The bus is off with everyone smug, slightly self satisfied and 6 mouths once again closed.  After about 30 minutes, they think that something might be slightly off when an English speaking passenger turns to Joyce and Debbie to say that the bus is not following the correct route.  Next Larry and Jerry notice 5 truck loads of armed soldiers riding by.  The  driver makes an announcement in French.  Joyce comments that she wonders what is so special that the driver needs to make an announcement..  Two minutes later, the bus pulls over, the driver starts waving his arms, the passengers turn to us and say “Out, Out, All out”.  Once again 6 mouths open and out on the street (in who knows where) in Paris.

At this point, everyone feels that being kicked off a bus 3 times in one day is a signal that all the bus riding for the day should by halted as it is very tiring to walk around with  mouths open all the time.  Greg is able to help everyone retreat back to the familiar ground of the trains to limp home.

In a final crushing blow, Larry  left his stylish rain hat on  bus 42.  When he asked at the Metro station if there was a lost and found, the metro person just shook his head and said “No, No, No”!  It is suspected that the Metro Lost and Found person will be wearing a stylish rain hat for the next storm.

Zombie Land

Monday night, Debbie was shocked to discover that United had re-planned her flight.  For all you doubters, no they didn’t just change the time.  The flight number and time were  switched.  It turned out to be a better time.  No need to tell the people traveling of the change, eh United?

Jennifer graciously ubered her parents to the airport.  They suspect that Jennifer may be happy to have Debbie and Larry and all the packing discussion/ anxiety out of the house.  Debbie did feel better after she walked in on a lady with her suitcase open on the bathroom floor frantically pawing through luggage.  In fact, Debbie felt rather awesome.

With no meals included on the flight and Debbie’s refusal to purchase as a fundamental principle to live by, they rushed to the Newark food court for dinner.  Larry left to get sugar and did not return for several minutes.  Enough that Debbie realized that he might have gotten lost.  And lost he was without a phone as Debbie had everything.  After wandering around for awhile, Larry suddenly popped back into the food court and confessed that he had been lost.

Our trip to Paris was uneventful except for the exploding pen incident (See previous blog).  As we were preparing for landing, the first sign of infection reared it’s ugly head. Larry commented on how light it was outside.  Debbie replied that it was what she expected, paused and asked “What time do you think it is?”  Larry replied “1:30.  Debbie said “No, 7:30 A.M.    Then they landed at Charles DeGaulle Zombieland Airport where most of the people wander aimlessly and the staff has been prepared to deal with Zombies.  Debbie, Larry, Greg and Don were all infected during their visit.

Information Booth Actual Answers – I can’t make this stuff up

Where do they sell the weekly train ticket pass?  At the train station 

Where do they sell the Paris Museum passes?  In Paris

No, where in the airport?  I know you can get it in Paris.  I can’t answer questions about the airport.

Eventually, Debbie and Larry collected their luggage and where given a map to the train station (Terminal 3) that Debbie clutched in her hand for the next 4 hours.    (BTW – No one could explain why terminal order is 1, 3, 2.  Terminal 3 is after Terminal 1 – Is this some secret Zombie code?).  About an hour after Debbie and Larry landed, Greg and Don arrived.   Debbie went in search of museum passes leaving Larry to wait at the train station. Debbie began having her own Zombie infection.  She went in the wrong direction on the CDGVAL train, she waited on an out of service platform for awhile, wandered around aimlessly for awhile and finally found the passes in terminal 2 (Not in Paris as directed).  She noticed several military soldiers with machine guns (Dare we say, zombie fighters?) sweeping the airport and heard that flights and the train was shut down.    After a moment or more of panic, Debbie decided to just go stand on a train and see if it left.  It did eventually return to Terminal 3.  There might be a case that Debbie was slightly lost.

During this time, it is suspected that the zombies captured Greg and Don, as shortly after landing they went incommunicado for an hour or more.  When they re-emerged (freed by the zombie fighters) they were still fighting the infection.  Greg texted that they were on their way aided by a French architect freedom fighter.  (He didn’t really say the freedom fighter part – I just made that up).  They needed help because the trains were shut down and couldn’t find the bus to Terminal 3.  After 45 minutes or so, Debbie and Larry started receiving texts.

Greg:  We are almost there.  We are by Departure Window 10  How do we find you?
Thankfully, the good news is that, such treatment is viagra sildenafil canada kamagra.

Debbie:  Are you in terminal 3?     (Note to reader: There are no departure windows  in Terminal 3)

Greg:  Yes at Terminal C

Debbie:  We are at the train station

Greg:  Almost (NOT)

…………..Time Passing ……………………………………

Greg:  We are back on a train again.  5 minutes per our guide (French zombie freedom fighter) who found us struggling again.

In a few minutes, Don and Greg show up with the story that they were in Terminal 2 lost again when the lady who had helped them the first time saw them wandering aimlessly.  She stopped what she was doing and personally escorted them to the train station.

The group of 4 fled the airport in a taxi where they cleverly paid much more money than the fixed price taxi fee from the airport.

Joyce and Gerry arrived at a different airport with no major issues and paid the negotiated taxi rate. (Okay, yes, they paid half the price but were not fleeing from zombies).  It can only be assumed that Charles DeGaulle airport is a zombie battle ground trying to convert arriving passengers or that the airport is confusing and lack of sleep may impact some people negatively.

I am going with Zombie Land.

First Europe Trip update

2016-09-13

Hopefully, this is the first of many travel updates of the long awaited European vacation.  The first update was originally handwritten in Debbie’s journal and then transcribed to Word.  Let’s just say that the first writing has been challenging.  The book came out, the pen came out and the airline captain announced “mild” turbulence.   It is safe to say that Debbie and the captain’s definition of “Mild” vary.    Next Debbie notices that her red pen had leaked (more like exploded) all over her hand.  It looks like she was in a knife fight and lost.  Did we mention that is won’t come off her skin?  She also managed to get ink on her personal video screen and various other surrounding surfaces.  Larry found this to be quite humorous.  The next hurdle involved lights out and Larry suggesting that Debbie’s light was annoying to all surrounding people.  Debbie says that she is waiting for Larry to sleep so that she can touch her red ink fingers to his face.

This trip has been planned for week and a decision was made to travel light.  There has been much discussion on what to take or not take.  Lists have been made but everyone agreed that they have been distracted by other tasks or events.  Let’s examine Larry’s distraction experience. At around 6 on Sunday, he asks Debbie “Does my eye look red?”

Debbie said “Yes, it looks red.  Did you do something to it?

Larry replied “Yes, while servicing the pool, Acid splashed in my eye.”

After Debbie got off the floor, Debbie said “Let’s imagine the following conversation in Paris”

FRENCH DOCTOR:  Mademoiselle Eng, what happened to Monsieur Eng’s eye?

MADEMOISELLE ENG:  He got acid in his eye.

2 hours later:  GERNADAME (French Police):  Now tell us again Mademoiselle how the acid got in the eye on your vacation?

Needless to say Larry , spent quality time at the dotors’s on Sunday flushing his eye and visited another eye doctor on Monday.  Happily he reports that he is on the road to recovery and there should not be a need for a police station visit.  This impacted Larry’s packing schedule quite severely.

While all the eye drama was happening in Houston, Joyce threw down the gauntlet that her suitcase was 25 pounds causing Debbie to reexamine her packing choices. She took out an electrical plug and 2 decks of cards.

Monday night Larry was in a bind and had barricaded himself in the bedroom with a bed covered in potential packing candidates.  This phenomena has occurred on other trips so she was prepared for the guest room.  Larry brought in Tuesday morning with packing until 4 AM.  Debbie took pity on the Paris Pirate as Larry had been wearing a patch on Sunday and Monday.  Debbie might also have been shouting out “Aargh”  every time Larry asked a question.

The travelers started comparing final bag weights:

  • Greg – 40 pounds
  • Larry – 38.5 Pounds
  • Debbie – 38 pounds
  • Joyce – 35 pounds (what, what? What happened to 25 pounds)
  • Don – 30 pounds

Drug therapy provides some symptom relief but requires a daily commitment to medication, is costly and likely to fail cialis sample over time. This disease is been noticed nowadays in many men with erectile problems- Excessive pains cheapest viagra from india or headache: The intense feelings of sadness are signified as excessive pain or headache due to no psychological reason. Fire, to stop the burning, that is to eliminate the burning buying viagra prescription conditions. Erectile dysfunction is that kind of sexual dysfunction then canadian viagra professional it may result into an emotional commotion.
The rest of the travelers think that Don will be borrowing things from them.

First of Many

August 22nd was Mia’s very first day of school.  She began Kindergarten at the “Big School” aka Terrace Elementary.   We began the day early with Mom and a good breakfast.  There was the obligatory posing for pictures with smiles all around.  The Elsa backpack with optional flashing lights was strapped on and off to school.

Jennifer escorted Mia to class where Jenn was told “You can go now” and dismissed.

A few hours later after school Jennifer picked up Mia from the YMCA.  On the way home several issues were discussed with her Mother.  These included:

  • Lunch is served at 10:30
  • Mia did not like the snacks provided by the Y
  • Strawberries are difficult to put back into a ziplock bag once they come out.
  • Loose strawberries in a lunch kit make a mess

After our kindergartner had eaten dinner and the lunch box was cleansed, her family was given a more complete description of the first day.  The first day was RULE DAY.  They actually call it rule day.  Rules included:

  • No running
  • No shouting
  • No screaming
  • No Crying
  • No Talking
  • No Pushing
  • No SleepingMia first day

They also learned hand signals

  • A “W” for water
  • Crossed fingers on one hand – Bathroom
  • Pointer finger on one hand – Tissue
  • Crossed fingers on two hands – Quiet

The result is that Debbie and Larry are pretty impressed with Kindergarten.  They are excited with the signs and busy signaling each other.  Debbie is especially impressed with the Tissue sign.  She keeps trying to get Larry to give her some tissues and water.  Larry says that is not happening and she wouldn’t need tissues if she didn’t spill the water.  Debbie is also thrilled that there is a “No Sleeping” rule because that implies there might be a place where they don’t have that rule that she could go visit.   Debbie also thinks that it would be good to start all jobs with a “Rule Day”.   Debbie was noticed jumping up and down, chanting “ Rule Day, Rule Day!  And asking Mia to test her on the rules.

A Walk

Surprise!  For those who follow, I am trying to get back in the swing before I start traveling.  Sign up if you want to be notified when I post.

Jennifer went to eat with a friend.  So, I picked up Mia today.  We saw a lemonade stand some kids had set up 4 or 5 streets away on our way back.  We rushed home and walked back to the stand.  The kids were raising money for VBS at 2nd Baptist for homeless children in India.   We purchased a glass for the road.   We decided to walk back and forth across the streets on the way home to get my 10,000 steps.  It started out well and we ran up and down one street.  On the 2nd, street we slowed down and Mia tried to hop a block like a frog.  She also tried to convince me to pick up a lost worm and adopt it.  I declined.  On the third street, we were both dragging and Mia started singing a self composed song where I was queen of the bugs and they were walking with us.  It went something like this  “It is a boring walk,  a boring walk.   We don’t want to walk.  We will kill the queen and feed her to a frog”.  Good thing that I am not sensitive.  Although, I was hot and sweaty by this time.

Idaho – The Big Splash

The week of August 28th, infused the group with youth. Jennifer and Mia joined us in Idaho. Unfortunately, the first couple of days were rainy so the group stayed around the resort. Everyone played Bingo, ping pong, went to a movie and Mia painted a ceramic frog bank. Mia successfully collected donations from other members of the party. They also celebrated Jennifer’s birthday with blueberry pie.

The group hiked around several lakes in Idaho with Jennifer and Mia. Mia proved quite the hiker and to the amazement of the original four she never seemed winded. How is this possible? Debbie and Larry insisted on several breaks for Mia’s sake. It would have made everyone happier if Jennifer would have stopped pointing out that Mia was okay. She and Jennifer hiked Tubb Hill in Coure D’Alene and visited the playground after the hike. It was a wonderful and exhausting playground. Debbie volunteered to watch for part of the time and must have circled the playground 20 times trying to keep up with Mia. Mia’s promised picnic was furnished and then more playground time with someone stationed at every corner.

Our second big hike with Mia was at Lake Pend Oreille in Farragut State Park. Mia is an awesome hiker. She held people’s hand at the appropriate time and walked with the walking stick. Mia’s one request was to touch the water in the lake. Mia and Jennifer found a potential touching water place. Jennifer and Mia balanced on a rock while Debbie suggested another potential touching place. Jennifer and Mia balanced on a rock to touch the water and then the wobbling began. Mia started to wobble and Jennifer started to wobble but recovered. Everyone took a deep breath and then Mia slowly started falling toward the water. Jennifer did a magnificent twisting dive to put herself between Mia and the rocks in the lake resulting in a giant splash. Mia came up out of the water yelling loudly and quite insulted. Jennifer came up yelling “Are you okay?” The other members of the hiking party rallied around and helped strip down our littlest hiker. Mia ended up having her clothes on a walking stick like a clothesline and wearing Debbie’s rain jacket. It was a good arrangement but occasionally led to Mia mooning some of the other hikers. Debbie says that Mia and Jennifer did a superior job of touching the lake.

Do You Need a Picture of Mt. Rainer?

The next stay for the group was in Ashford, Washington close to Mt. Rainer. Check in time was 4 PM. The travelers found their way to Ashford at 3:45 PM. Unfortunately, the group could not get into the house. Joyce, Gerry and Larry ran up and down trying different gates and checking the address. There was discussion about scaling the fence. Debbie sat in the car. She told them that this reminded her of Crawford and that the letter said 4 so they needed to wait. The others laughed at her. Ha! Who had the last laugh? The owner pulled up at 3:55 PM and told them “You are early”. He then gave a tour of the house somewhat unwanted by the guests. The house was in a great location but a little different. The owner had made much of the furniture but it was sort of like he still lived in the house. Did you know that there are paper plate holders that mount under cabinets?

Once moved in the group made an initial visit to Mt. Rainer. Stops included Narada Falls and Christine falls. They also took a gazillion pictures of Mt. Rainer even though there was some smoke from Washington fires.

One of many

In the morning, the group arrived at the mountain bright and early. The skies were clear so they retook all the pictures over again. They decided to hike Dead Horse Creek Trail for a better view. Somehow the travelers got caught up in the mass climb for a better view. Debbie and Larry went running off up the mountain if this is even possible. They ended up on Skyline Trail. Once they realized that they would have to continue to hike up for quite a while and had blasted past the end of the trail 45 minutes ago, they turned around. Five miles later, Debbie and Larry returned to the parking lot to find a bear eating berries. Of course, more pictures were taken of the Mountain so plenty are available if you need any.
