On the way to Weisbaden Germany

We traveled by train from Paris to Weisbaden.  Here we are at the Gare de l'Est train station in Paris.  Notice the name next to my right knee.  Actually, the name was Ungerer but I was covering the last "er" with my knee.  If you double right click on the photo below, you can enlarge it so you can see the name on the billboard.

Window shopping in Weisbaden on Sunday night

While wandering around, we found this great Mexican restaurant.

You going to have to take our word on this...but the 3rd line on the menu says "Bridgewater, NJ"!!!  How crazy - this is the town that Tom worked in before moving to Paris!!!  Freaky!!

Really, really good margaritas!

The funniest play ever!!

Christele, from my book club, recommended this play.  Our group consisted of 14 people from all around the world.  Olivier Giraud is a genius and so incredibly funny.  Unfortunately, Tom couldn't attend because of prior work commitments, so I will be going again with Tom in December.  Olivier also said that he will be performing in San Francisco and New York next year. 

Bob's Fundraising Project

So, Bob's senior fundraising project (and the only fundraising that he has done at his school), is selling champagne.  Got to love Bob's school!!

And...the label is personalized with Bob's school and graduating class!  How cool is that!  Of course, we HAD to support his fundraising efforts!

Père-Lachaise Cemetery

I never thought that I would have a "favorite" cemetery, but I do!!  I love the Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.  I love strolling around on the winding, cobblestone walkways of this 110 acre cemetery.  It was a beautiful sunny October day when I headed back again to visit.

This is Chopin's resting place and it is the most visited site in this cemetery.  There are always a lot of fresh flowers on his tomb.

Jim Morrison's, of The Doors, final resting place.

In addition to this cemetery being my favorite cemetery, it is also the world's most visited cemetery.

Sushi in Antony

We all met Leesa in her town, Antony, just outside of Paris, for sushi and a walk around her beautiful town of Antony.

Leesa and I with our friends from Australia.  Barbara was there but she was the photographer for this picture.

I had the best edamame!  Unfortunately, when I tried to get out the peas out, they shot all over the resto.  I hit a group of French friends next to us but luckily they were very understanding about my peas flying through the air at them.  The sushi was so good!!

Bob's Jazz Band

First of all, let me apologize for the quality of the pictures.  I REALLY need to learn how to use my camera!!  Luckily for us, Bob is the only blonde in the jazz band so it's very easy to spot him.  The first picture is of the jazz band warming up.

The concert was wonderful!  They are all so talented and so much fun to watch!

 

We were the only ones on the bus back to Paris for several stops.  As you can see, Bob really loves his picture taken!  Bob's school is on a mountain (?) above Paris.  As we headed down the hill toward Paris, the bus driver pointed out to us the sparkling Eiffel Tower.  Of course, I've always looked at the Eiffel Tower both coming and going from Bob's school, but I thought it was so cute how the bus driver pointed it out to us!

 

Brigitte again!!

We went with Hélène to see our friend Brigitte sing again.  She performed on the boat Six-Huit again.  It is docked on the Seine River right next to Notre Dame.  We can see Notre Dame out of the boat window while we enjoy a wonderful night of music.
