Hello, bonjour, hola

My very dear Room 9 friends, finally it is my turn to sit down at a computer. I am in an internet cafe near our apartment in Vinciennes which is a suburb of Paris. I am using a keyboard with a french layout of the letters so I am going very slowly. There are some interesting letters I could use such as è ç à € ù. Yesterday we climbed half way up the Eiffel Tower. My legs were like jelly when we got to the viewing platform but the view was superb. We travel everywhere in Paris by the underground Metro. I love the feeling of whizzing through the dark tunnels and then arriving at the next stop. Sometimes it is so so crowded that it feels like a tin of sardines. It is a huge huge city and we have to carry a map with us all the time. Tonight my son Nick arrives with his fiancè. We are going to meet them at one of the railway stations and then find our way back to Vinciennes being careful not to get lost. We got lost on our first trip from the apartment and it was very scary. We had had a lovely excursion but when we arrived back at our metro station we couldn't remember where to go and we didn't know our address. We had the key but there was no adress on it and noone could understand our french! SCARY SCARY! I was very pleased when we finally sat down in our apartment. Hopefully we won't get lost tonight. We are meeting them at 10.15pm and we haven't been on the metro at night so it could be interesting. On Saturday we take the TGV train to Spain. It is very very fast. Then we begin our 20 day tramp about 300km across the north of Spain. I am having an amazing adventure. Write a comment on this post and tell me how you are then I can reply to you. Take care. Look after Mrs. Cormack. Keep shining; xxx
