I love it here and will miss the Seine, its bridges, and the Eiffel Tower that have been a daily part of life here for us this past week. Oh how this city feeds my soul!

Thank you Lord for making a way for us to visit here again!

and so we were off to the Jardin de Luxembourg first thing. Loved watching children and adults alike renting the little boats to sail in the pond. We had lunch at Le Soufflé and dinner on the Champs Élysées. The soufflés were fabulous, and the macaroons from Laduree  are equally sensational! Just another day of eating our way around Paris.

  
with the very best chocolate and  cherries you have EVER had. Now imagine that same taste morphing into to-die-for chocolate ice cream with those fabulous cherries and topped with chantilly whipped cream, and you will know what to order at the bistro where we ate today. And just so you know what it should look like when it’s served, et voila, check out the photo above. This thing was so unfreakingbelievably FABULOUS!!! Je t’aime Paris!!! Mais, now to nap before the twilight dinner cruise along the Seine. Au revoirr, mes amis!

God is sooooooo good!

  
The taxis decided to strike today, and we have been limited to the areas around our hotel. The next bridge north of the Pont de L’Alma had hundreds of love locks on it, and so my photos today are of some of those. I pray all of you are well!

 
May the Lord bless you and keep you always. -Numbers 6:24

  
It was a fabulous day here in Paris, and after dinner we took our last walk of the day down to the Seine to watch the boats coming and going. Our hotel is only about 3 blocks from the Seine, and we are loving its location and little balcony! Bonne nuit pour l’instant! God is good, and I praise His holy name!

We’re in Paris. I’ve walked along the Seine at twilight, I’ve eaten chocolate chantilly, and I’ve been moved to tears once more! Here’s an apartment building across from the bistro where we ate and I want to live there!!! Praise the Lord!

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. -Winnie the Pooh

All our bags are packed we’re standing here at the door, and though I hate to say goodbye, the taxis waiting; he’s blowing his horn… -Edited and adapted excerpt from lyrics written by John Denver

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.” -Psalm 91:14
