Thanks so much for letting us take ove...Hi Valerie!<br />Thanks so much for letting us take over your apartment, it was so generous of you. And I'm glad we got to overlap one day so we could meet you, even in our sickly state. We'd love to visit again but we don't want to put you out! Maybe we'll bunk with Trevor and Priscilla, or leave Benjamin with them. ;-)<br />That restaurant sounds great! I feel like we saw a good bit, but not even close to a comprehensive view of Paris. But of course we still have lots of Amman to visit, so hopefully we can muster some of the energy we had over the vacation. If you'd like a home base anytime for traveling in the Middle East, we'd love to host you! <br />Happy New Year!<br />-Rachelwilhitelarkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002910541634081744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429415567789335749.post-47307167409940326842013-01-10T17:49:23.749-05:002013-01-10T17:49:23.749-05:00Hi there Rachel,
Your hair was / is amazing ! I j...Hi there Rachel,<br />Your hair was / is amazing ! I just wish I had half as much and such a lovely colour! I'm glad you had such a happy time in spite of the rain and cold weather. Let me know when you want to come back so I can arrange to go somewhere. Paris is such an amazing city; I've still not seen it all; there are so many historically and architecturally interesting places to see and explore - I'm still enjoying discovering them. Next time we'll have to go to an amazing restaurant called "Chez Chartier" (link : http://www.restoaparis.com/fiche-restaurant-paris/chartier.html)that dates from the late 19th century. You can't book a table; just go along and queue up till a place becomes available - it's all part of the fun! You'd love it here at present: Epiphany is the traditional time for La Galette made of puff pastry with a frangipan filling and a little porcelain "fève" inside. The children hide under the table and the hostess asks them to say the name of the guest to whom she should serve each slice. Whoever gets the fève is the King / Queen and has to choose a partner who get to wear the paper crown. It was lovely to meet you; albeit briefly and I'm glad your cold and cough didn't prevent you enjoying your time here. Every best wish for 2013 !

My mission in life is to find another one. :-)<br /><br />How are y'all doing? Planning a big party for Abigail's 2nd bday?? I can't believe they're so big!<br /><br />-Rachelwilhitelarkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04002910541634081744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429415567789335749.post-91141021050319002702013-01-09T12:29:17.201-05:002013-01-09T12:29:17.201-05:00So what is a pain Suisse?So what is a pain Suisse?Jenny McGaheynoreply@blogger.com
