Bonjour all,

The Paris GTG was great fun! The restaurant was open for lunch from noon until 2 p.m., but most of us didn't leave until nearly 3:30.

Attending were me and sis, janyceh, Woody, Cathinjoetown and her partner Meyer, Cholmondley_Werner, Mahya2, gracejoan3, Robespierre and his DW.

I think everyone had a good time. Cholmondley_Werner and Robespierre provided us with some good stories and laughs.

I know that Mahya2 also took some photos, but I understand that she was going on to visit other places, so we'll have to wait for them. Someone also took movies but I don't remember who.

It was so nice meeting everyone, but I regret that I didn't get to talk much with the people at the other end of the table.

There was a little problem with my camera, so I only have four pictures to share, but I think I got everyone in them. Below is the link - I hope it works!

Thanks for posting.

I wish *I* was in Paris and could have joined you!

Those are great! Robes looks a lot younger than I had pictured him.

Looking great, Joan!

Looks like you had very nice weather for the GTG.

Great pictures; what a good time you all must have had! And the weather does look wonderful.

Envy, envy!

The weather was wonderful! When we arrived the morning of the 24th, it had rained and was foggy, but by the time we got to our apartment, the sun had come out. It didn't rain again until we were back at the airport for our flight home on the morning of the 30th. We couldn't have asked for nicer weather.

Unfortunately, the awnings weren't nearly adequate to keep the blazing sun off everyone. I pleaded with Gilbert to crank them out further, but to no avail. I think <i>service compris</i> is a bad idea.

great to see all the posters with a face now. The only one I knew was dear Grace.
Thanks travgina.

Thanks for sharing these. Looks like everyone was having fun!

I want to go to a GTG
This looks like soooo much fun. Ah well, my time will come.

What a good looking group. And I agree, Robes looks alot younger than I had imagined.

Good shot Gina! Is there a special way to see the names of who's who in the zoo??

Maybe you can email me the line-up, like left to right is.........

I am dying to hear about your trip!

It's true. The camera adds 10lbs.

Hi Gina:

Good pictures, however Meyer's partner is me, Nancy, not Cathinjoetown, who probably wishes she was there!

We took Woody's hint and hit the Orsay museum at 5pm when they stop selling tickets and let you in free. If you know the museum well, which we do, you have about 45 minutes to visit your favorite paintings. We also revisted the Marmottan-Monet the other day and it really is spectacular....much better than a few years ago.

Fun to meet you all and thanks, again, Gina for organizing it. We plan to return to the restaurant as it's just two blocks from our apartment.

Oh Nancy, I am so sorry! I had your name and Cath's next to each other and I checked off the wrong one! I'll go back and recaption the photos.
