WE'RE IN PARIS

France, that is.  We began our journey at 4:15 this morning first with a flight to Dulles (Washington, DC) then on to Charles D'Gaul in Paris.  There's a transportation strike here.  At the moment it means that we had to take a train from the airport to Gare du Nord, then another train to Chatelet des Halle (one more stop beyond).  Silly really.  The more exciting piece of the strike is that the strikers have stopped a gasoline pipeline to the airport.  We've heard tell there's only enough for 10 days more air travel.  Fortunately, we should escape before they run out..... or will we????  It does add some excitement at any rate.  Tomorrow Charlie will spend the day at the University.  The student's oral exam is tomorrow afternoon.  I have the day to myself - wandering seems just right.  I'll bring my camera for better updates.
