Buddy Bears in Paris

we fly to italy on sunday morning.

steve had to work today

but the kids have already started

their autumn break.

so today the two little boys

and i took a walk down to the 

eiffel tower. 

i love turning the corner

to view it.

the sight of it never gets old.

but what i love now..

is watching the faces of people

who have never seen it.

i should photograph them.

it's the coolest thing.

for the next few weeks the

United Buddy Bears 

are here in paris.

after the boys had their

traditional ride on the carousel

and a hot dog

we walked up the champs de mars

and looked at the beautiful artwork

done by artists from 140 different nations..

all in the name of peace.

here are a few..

u.s.a.!

aren't they amazing?

bon weekend mes amis!

we'll be back next weekend..

off to see venice, tuscany and rome!

p.s...a few people have emailed me saying they can't 

comment on my blog.

i noticed i had the word verification turned on..

i shut it off.

hopefully that'll work!

merci!
