More of Saturday Night...........

Last night we spent almost four hours driving around the city to see the Christmas lights.

We spent a lot of time on the Champs Elysees where bright sparkling lights decorate both sides of the boulevard.

Philippe knows a wonderful place to stop for a full view of the Eifel Tower so we spent a lot of time just gazing at the beautiful scene.  Fortunately, it was a mild evening with weather in the 50s with no wind or rain.  All the historical buildings are beautifully lit at night so we revisited the Parliament, City Hall, Opera Plaza, the monument of the Bastille and many other places.  The evening ended with a drink at a beautiful sidewalk cafe so it turned out to be a memorable experience.

It's about 9 a.m. now and I'm the only one awake but soon there will be lots of activity as we prepare for a drive to Brussels where we'll spend Christmas.  We'll be there three nights.  I'll take the laptop but I'm uncertain if I'll be able to connect....................... SO.................. Roger and I send Christmas wishes to you all with hope that you are able to spend time with friends and family to celebrate the birth of Christ.  MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
