5 am

 

The last day in Paris was bittersweet. It was cold after much milder winter weather. We took a cab to the Hotel des Marronniers in Saint Germain our favorite walking area where charming shops of home good, arts, books and other intrigues line the streets. Early the next morning we ate breakfast on the terrace, We caught a cab at 8:30 am to the airport for 70 euros and flew home on a calm sunny day. We stayed at Hyatt Regency in the Dulles area on the tenth floor and went to bed at 7 pm. I woke up at 4:45 quite refreshed and opened the window to see the setting Moon.
