Paris, sans chats

Yes, Paris was beautiful. 

How could we not enjoy seeing Notre Dame, St. Sulpide, Ile de la Cite, Ile St. Louis, the Pompidou Center, the market at Bastille, the Musee d'Orsay, the Musee des Arts et Metiers, Montmartre and the Sacre Coeur? 

And drinking wine that was cheaper than (fancy French) water? 

And eating the lovely (heart-attack) food? 

And reuniting with old friends?

But the greatest pleasure was the freedom from our scooting, shitting, retching, barfing, eating-disordered cats. And from robo-calls.
