Today was our last day in Paris. Tomorrow, early (5am) we leave for Spain with a one night stopover in the tiny country of Andorra (population 85,000) in the Pyrenees mountains.
We cleaned the apartment from top to bottom. It's always good to leave things as good as you found them.
We took the bus, then the train and then the tram to far northwest Paris in the La Defense district.
That's where we picked up our leased Puegeot. It's a brand new car with only 1.7 kilometers on the odometer and it smells good too! We filled up with diesel and came back to our neighborhood.
We had a last lunch with Riad at Le Morgane and came home to meet Andie, our landlady. We visited and said our good-byes. We ran a few errands and then it was time to pack. How did we get here with 2 bags, a pull cart and a backpack? We've added another bag, 2 boxes and a cooler. After 3 more months, I wonder how much more we will accumulate.
We invited Donna to join us for dinner at an Indian Restaurant a couple of blocks from our apartment. The owner serenaded us on his sitar. Rumor has it he learned from Ravi Shankar. We enjoyed the evening and bid good-bye to Donna.
Paris has been a wonderful experience. The people have been genuinely friendly and helpful. We hope to come back someday and revisit this enchanting city. Thank you Paris for showing us a truly wonderful time.
