kja--how long did you spend in Giverny? Did you take the train to Rouen or drive?

Just noticed the decision had already been made. Good work!

We wanted to let you know that we are still "on" for dinner at LE TRUMILOU on the 17th at 7:30 and are looking forward to a vin rouge toast and dinner with you and Tracy. However, with your travel changes, if you want to re-consider, we totally understand. We'll assume if we do not hear from you that everything is the same.

We'll be there...and I won't be jet lagged!!!

Congrats cornelius. We will celebrate 60th wedding anniversary the day before I turn 103. I assume you married younger. Have a great time!

Maitai… if I were you I"d set up an a/c right now to save for a special gift for your wife on your 60th. My neighbor will be 103 a week from today…. still in great shape. It could happen to you -:)

@ dwdvagamundo -- I spent about 2 hours at Monet's Gardens and House, almost all of that in the absolutely glorious gardens. I also visited the Giverny Museum of Impressionism, where I spent another hour (mostly visiting a special exhibit on Bonnard, with just a little time in its gardens) and about 1/2 hour having coffee at its very oleasant outdoor cafe. I drove to Giverny from Paris, and then from Giverny to Rouen, with a stop in Les Andelys. Hope that helps!

kja--Thanks a lot. Very useful.

Hope you do not mind my adding this comment.
I have had several dinners at La Trumilou and really enjoyed the restaurant. It was suggested to me by the owner of an apartment that I rented a few years ago. I enjoyed it so much I try to go at least once on each of my trips to Paris.
The Duck with prunes was really good.
Have a great 20th anniversary

Tom.. Enjoy your two extra days in Paris! Happy Anniversary too.

Hi Maitaitom,

Hope your flight with Air France was good and that you're in sunny Paris now. We experienced a real unexpected hurdle when our Air France flight from Munich on Monday was cancelled. After much stress and anxiety, we got here on Lufthansa. It's wonderful to be here!

So. . .we're really looking forward to that vin rouge toast and dinner with you and Tracy.
