Twenty-Four Hours to Departure

The countdown is on. I have just 24 hours until my departure for Paris and, as usual, the packing still needs to be done. It's all in piles around the apartment, not in the suitcase.

I say to myself, "soon you will joining the crowds at the Eiffel Tower, to see an exhibit celebrating its 120 years of existance. There is also much ado at the Hotel de Ville." And, I hope to see the fireworks and concert on the Champ de Mars on Bastille Day, July 14th. It will be my first time joining the festivities.

Before then, though, I will probably have been to the Louvre. I intend to spend several days revisiting my favorite paintings and sculptures.

Ah! Paris is so lovely near sunset. Back to you in a few days, if not sooner.
