So who in
their right minds would take teenage kids to Paris for a supposed ‘romantic’
weekend? Yep, that’s my wife, educating said children in European culture a few
years ago. Never slept for two days… I shared the hotel room with my son and he
had quite a snore! So leaving aside the unavoidable traffic jams, we actually
had a great time, first visiting the Musée d'Orsay and it’s great collection
of Impressionist art.
Yes here’s
my son, bored out of his mind, playing on a Gameboy next to the most amazing polar
bear! Ah well…
After a
beautiful journey by boat along the River Seine we had our picnic at the foot
of the Eifel Tower. Lovely it was.
Next day we
explored the beautiful château de Versailles, where I particularly enjoyed a special
meal in their outdoor restaurant. Fabulous. As we walked back towards the house
the musical fountains erupted into their spectacular display. Quite moving, and
a treasured memory for sure.

So I was
just wondering… is this the best that life can offer?
