Paris. Forever.
Moving quicker in getting “caught up”, much quicker than I thought.
Errands to run later, and simply following through with my/our choice to enjoy this final day of the Honeymoon. This Nurse… the adventure we just came back from, and just in time to avoid all the unrest in Paris. UGH… breaks my heart, to be honest. So, how I deal, looking at these stills with…
Gratitude is not an answer or remedy, key or solution or lens… I’m told by the Story itself that it is THE way.

Nurse and I packing our suitcases, making a party of it.. she joking that I may need to house some of her jeans that she bought there on Champs-Elysees. I tell her fine. And we laugh, imagine that. 13 days, KNOT TIED. We downstairs in the lounge, talking about our honeymoon and not how fast…
FYI de Paris —>

Second-to-last day…
Paris, 2016

10/14/2026 10:02 Paris, France. Breakfast finished a bit ago. Had to go to the desk and have one of our keys re-charged, or booted. Didn’t work after getting both replaced last night. Nurse a little under the weather. Plans for today, Napoleon’s wee tomb and Orsay. Not ready to leave, but strangely eager to get…
