I owe a big thank you to Arnaud and Corrine for their hospitality. They made us feel at home in France which was a huge bonus on this crazy trip we had after leaving Dubai. A home cooked meal from Arnaud is always a meal enjoyed and I had a few. Corrine made us a feast as well. Nothing like starting off a late diner with a jar full of homemade aged goose liver bathing in solidified fat to remind yourself that you are in France. It was killer.
Paris is the bomb, but I don’t want to bore you with the same old story of the city of light. Nancy was super cool. We took a trip to Verdun to have a history lesson about WWI and it was just that. Both extremely deep and educational.
Made a quick shot north and had dinner in Luxemburg. Or what Arnaud refers to as “a bank.” Well the world needs a few more of those right now so good for them.
Long story short Viviane and I took the TGV home and were back in Garches (west Paris) door to door in like just over 2 hours. Whatever it was it was fast. Like 320 km per hour fast. Shut up and do the math.
(I have TGV video but with this connection I keep crashing...)
While in Paris was stayed at family home of Emmanuelle DeChamps, and we met a great lady named Maria. She is Portuguese so of course Viviane and her got along great.
Give me a few days and I will post more about this great country…

Cool pics of Euro, sounds like Paris is was nice. Looking forward to some pics of S. America. Say hello to Vivi's familia and take care. (I feel like I have pole position as the first comment!)
