Saint Germain - Paris




After a late Friday night it was hard to be up and ready at 9 a.m. this morning but Roger had an appointment for his final blood test. Shortly after the test was completed we headed for an appointment with an ear specialist. After an extensive examination the doctor determined that Roger has an infection in his left ear and he prescribed four medications. He said that the malady would last approximately one month and, even though he'll experience some vertigo and tiredness, he should walk and exercise normally. He further stated that car and airplane transportation are OK so we're very pleased that we can still fly to Hamburg Wednesday afternoon.

When we returned to Paris we headed for the Saint Germain area which is near the Seine River. The streets are narrow and they are filled with many small cafes, shops, churches and apartment buildings. When we entered the Saint Germain Church we heard singing and pipe organ music and we discovered that they were rehearsing for a wedding. As we left the Bride was just coming out of the limo.

We had our choice of many different types of cafes and we finally decided to stick with French. The cafe we chose featured a three course lunch for 12 Euros and we were pleasantly surprised at the quality and quantity of delicious food that was served. After a leisurely late lunch we continued to walk until we were all tired so now, after a short nap, we're getting dressed and ready for a party at a friend's apartment. Yes, it will be a late night again................
