Our last full day in Paris. Time to go back to sure winner memories – Notre Dame, St. Chapelle, Isle San Luis.

Only 3.7 miles today. Too much time on the metro.

But first, breakfast. Sadly, I am eating alone as Caleb is not feeling great. He had some juice but that’s about it.

We got to Notre Dame only to find horrible lines (think Disneyland) to get in, so we continued on to Isle San Luis to Berthillon for the best gelato. Then on to one of my favorite little shops – Pylones. Got a few gifts and we headed back to the apartment. Weather still toasty.

My hope is that he feels well enough to have dinner. Poor kid has suffered today with a bit of a stomach problem. I am fine so am wondering what he had to eat that’s got him in a bad way.

So sad Caleb is still feeling a bit fragile. I ventured out and found a lovely cafe. I dined on risotto with chicken, mushrooms, onion and Parmesan shavings. Plus wine. No photos of food; too pleasant just sitting outdoors and people watching.

We have tidied up the apartment and packed for our flight tomorrow. Caleb is on the mend and looking forward to getting home to his own bed.

Well, didn’t get to do all the fun things in Paris that we had planned, but Caleb is feeling a little better and is cheery at the prospect of seeing family and friends again, and the dogs!

I say good bye to one of my favorite cities in the world and know that it won’t be long before I’m back.

Can’t wait to get home and share memories with family and friends. Another Camino accomplished. Another adventure awaits.

Since I didn’t take many photos this time in Paris I’m sharing some from past trips that make me smile
