Above, we are in front of Sacré-Coeur; however, our German friends Matthias and Angela seem to think it is their turn for picture taking.
We took the the subway over to the Opera Quarter to see the Opera House. FYI, this was Hitler's favorite sight when he visited Paris in 1940. As you can see, it is raining. Afterwards we went over to the Galleria to have lunch at . . . . . McDonald's. Mikel had to have a 'Royalé with Cheese.'
Much to our German friends' chagrin, Mikel was adamant about visiting the Catacombes. No, we did not try to smuggle out a souvenir.

After the Catacombes, we walked through the Luxembourg Quarter. Above is the Fontaine de l'Observatoire at the southern tip of the Jardin de Luxembourg. The sculpture in the center of the fountain was erected in 1873 and considered one of the 'liveliest' in Paris. After a stop at a cafe, we left the Germans, who were headed to a bar to watch the German national team in the Euro cup.
That evening Chris, Mary Beth's husband, returned from his business trip and met us at the base of the Eifell Tower for a late picnic. Other than the temperature, we had a grand time with our wonderful hosts.

Hi Salsgivers,
Really enjoyed your Christmas news letter. You do a great job of decorating the page. I would like to know how you use some of the highlights on the page.\
Howard and I are eager to see you large and roomy home. Our little cabin in the woods is small, but quaint and homey. You will have to drive out to visit us soon.
We will look forward to visiting you in your new abode, soon. Until then, be safe, blessed, and joyous in the new year soon to come upon us.
A warm greeting to Craig's parents, I so enjoyed their company in years past.

Hello Sarah,
Donna thinks you are growing so fast, into a smart, young, lady. I am hopeing to see you, in person, someday soon.
I would like for you to visit me in the woods of East Texas soon. There is a great chance you may see four or five deer, feeing on deer-corn, in our back yard, while you are here visiting us.
I have a dog, her name is Rosalynn Carter. She is a Dachshund. That is one of those long "weiner" dogs, as they say.
Rosalynn is very intelligent, for a cannine. She goes to her mat, in the kitchen, will sit and stay on her mat, until called for a treat. She may stay on her mat for as long as 30 minutes. I have spent much time training her.
Come see me, and meet Rosalynn.
love, donna
