Now on to the French dressing customs. Our good friends, Olivier and Adrian picked us up yesterday and treated us to lunch. Thank you! They were well mannered, impeccably educated on French history (Very Interesting) and dressed like perfectly normal humans. So many of the French, we are thrilled to report, are still dressing like the French. That is, tasteful under garments, long sleeved sport shirt (Collared), woolen vest, heavy sports coat, spectacular shoes and a wonderful French Scarf wrapped 4 times around their toasty necks. All of this is not so unusual except that they dress like this when it is 80 degrees outside. It is Fall after all! They are remarkably well turned out! If the temps drop down to the chilly 70s they'll add a trench coat on top just to complete the look and be prepared for anything. We love them. Forget anything you have heard to the contrary, the French are delightful people, including the waiters and waitresses. That fancy, little guy in the paint splattered suit could be an exception, but we doubt it!
Nothing says, "Paris" like this baby!

Today we get ready to get ready for Phase #3
When planning trips of this nature Duane and Paula start months in advance to secure flights, rooms, apartments, maps, rental cars, books, TGV tickets and train timetables, where the geese are fed and where to acquire the best foie gras. Now, almost a month into this adventure, Duane is more certain than ever that one month in Paris is the perfect amount of time. Not everyone would agree, of course. I know some of you, (You know who you are) would want to just stay here forever (ML), and others would get all stiff legged at any amount of time over 10 days. You pick, but do come.
