Paris - day one


Well, here we are in Paris just enjoying and loving on our (SBG) Sweet Baby Girl. It is pretty cold here for a couple of people that have not seen a temperature below about 65 in the past 14 months. There is a brisk wind and the temp is in the mid to low 40's. But seeing Audrey is warming to the heart. Picture is view from our apartment window. We had a real cultural first meal in Paris, "Chinese take-out". We actually went out to buy groceries but the larger markets were closed so we picked up a few things at a local deli and brought home take-out for dinner. Audrey is more precious than we had even expected, we are thanking the Lord for this very special time.
We had a good trip from Rwanda to Paris, all the flights were on time and the luggage all made it with us. Is a long flight and it is not easy to sleep in those small seats. We got to the airport in Kigali at 6:00 pm and waited until about 9:00 to board. Flew to Entebbe, Uganda to pick up more passengers and take on fuel, left there around 11:00 pm and flew to Brussels arriving at 6:00 am. Waited nearly 4 hours and flew to Paris. So it was a long night. So now we have a good 8 days to rest up and spoil SBG until flying back to Rwanda. That will be a day flight so should not be as tiring.
