Connie and Steve
Connie and Steve Arrive
Yesterday we fought our way to the front of the receiving line with our little sign which read, “Welcome Connie and Steve”. There were several other vendors with their welcome signs including one for “Lord Painting”. I hope to have some pictures up but my access for the pictures isn’t working. In retrospect, our sign should have read: “Welcome Lady Kinyon and Lord Torgesen”!
For the rest of the day we had a whirlwind visit of all the major Paris sights including the Notre Dame, Seine River, Eiffel Tower, and Arc Triomphe. During our visit to the Arc Triomphe, Gayle suggested that we re-live an experience she had with Dave and Linda, by standing in a little pedestrian safe zone in the middle of the Champs Elysees. This is just outside a 12 lane circle which is a complete free for all, with cars, motorcycles, and a rare bike, going every which way. When we got to the free zone, Gayle noticed that they took down the 3 cement posts that pedestrians can huddle behind, so we were basically standing in the middle of 12 lanes of traffic. Two motorcycles almost ran us down!
At noon today, we leave Paris to head for St Remy in the center of Provence (Southeast France). On Sunday we will see the hearding of the sheep, goats and other livestock in St. Remy, where thousands of animals are paraded through the streets for two hours… what a welcome that will be! This is where we meet up with Pat and Marty Miller, Kim and Marilyn Shelley, Dave and Linda Lyon, and Sunny and Brad Hilliker. I can only imagine the stories that will be spun tonight!
Important note: Our internet abilities for the remaining three weeks of our journey are very much in question so our blog entries might become more erratic.

Have had a chance to read some of the Blog since getting home from CA. You are having a wonderful time!!! Except for the wallet incident, of course. We are packing for the Galapagos and leave the 27th. Tell Linda I deadheaded her white rhodie in the front yard for her. Would love to be there when you all meet up to hear all the stories!! Have a safe rest of your trip and flight home. We get home June 7 and will see ALL of you then. Beth & Bob
