Mom and dad are here! We met them at the airport right on schedule today. It was fun to catch up on the long train ride into town. They were both hanging in there very well through most of the day, even as we forced them to stay up to kill off the jetlag. I think they will definitely sleep good tonight. We got them into their hotel early in the day, and it seems the room is going to work well for them. I think the counter-woman was the first nice Parisian we have met all year! We rode the bus and the metro to/from our apartment to let them have a feel for public transportation (Mom: “I haven’t walked this much in years!”). After a quick tour of our neighborhood and a stop at the Boulanger, Sara then made a great quiche dinner for us all. One bottle of wine later, we had them home in time for curfew. I think tomorrow they will feel much better. We’ll put up pictures right here on the main page soon. Any big picture sets we come up with during the trip, we’ll put in the Photo Album section. Tomorrow we’ll give them their first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower, Arc du Triomphe, and Notre Dame. Check back soon!
