Paris!

Paris, city of lights. We have had the greatest of times which I have needed after my huge mea culpa of my club championship golf finish which caused me to lose the tournament after a huge lead. Thinking I needed par to win the championship erroneously (I only needed bogey to win the club championship) I took risks and shots I wouldn't have taken and hence disaster unfolded and I lost. Such is life. Played great for two days so that was fun. Maybe next time I will know exactly what my lead is like a smart golfer

Donna with our first baguette and coffee...


Luxembourg Gardens... lovely


A crepe anyone?

Versailles.... could we make it a bit more lavish...


One could get lost in this labyrinth


Versailles


Hall of mirrors


Arc de Triumph


Latin Quarter


Pompey's Pillar... Egyptian Obelisk 3500 years old


Didier our wonderful host


You know what this is...
would do. Silly to grind away making pars and trying to win the thing and not knowing exactly where I stood standing on last tee! Huge Mea Culpa after all that hard work and great shotmaking. So.... life goes on and here we are. Walking all day in Paris with perfect weather (low 70's). Beautiful. Donna is getting a baguette right now as I speak and we will have a baguette with butter, perhaps with raspberry jam or with swiss cheese and ham, a bit of fruit and we will walk to the museum de Orsey and maybe the Rodin museum. Later a trip to Versailles. In Egypt this morning the bulldozers are clearing the camp with death, teargas, and violence abounding. Our flight is tomorrow! Sad things going on there which makes it tough and sketchy for us going. Hopefully all will settle down but for many it's tragic and a time of pain and stress. A few pictures for you and I will continue anon....
