Paris: arrival

Wednesday morning, we took the 2 1/2 hr. bus ride from Cheltenham to London to catch the Eurostar train to Paris for the long Thanksgiving weekend. It was so exciting to be able to travel Europe again! Despite a little scare on our way to Paris (Jacob + Avery + diaper change + quick change of trains = a very close call on a train headed to Belgium) we arrived at the home of a French family who showed us the side of Paris we wouldn't have experienced otherwise. They greeted us into their home with a delicious meal of Duck Confite (+ salad and potatoes, followed by a cheese course, followed by dessert) and then after we put Avery down for bed, we left her with their oldest daughter as they drove us around Paris by night.
