A Fall Day in Paris
What a beautiful, cool, sunny Fall day! After a beautiful Church service we and other members of the Young Couples Group from the Church ventured South of Paris to visit the Chateau Vaux-Le-Vicompte - a beautiful chateau.
We had a lovely picnic on the chateau grounds.

Cold Morning in Paris
We received our first real cool front dropping temperatures in the mid 40’s early morning and evening and making for a rainy cold Saturday. (a domestic day for us of more framing and hanging.)

Church in London
Attended the American Church in London carrying our luggage, golf clubs, computer, etc., as it was on the way to Gatwick Airport. Arrived at Victoria Station to catch the Gatwick Express to the airport and the platforms for our train were roped off with no entrance allowed due to a “suspicious” piece of luggage left unattended.
So we wait. We are leaving from a different platform and we’re off to the airport. We assume all turned out O.K. with the bag. Arrived Paris Sunday evening to very cool weather.

English Breakfast
After a lovely English breakfast, David proceeded to his Saturday meeting (on the golf course) and I took the Underground to London City Centre to check the location of the American Church and visit shops along the way.

London England
David and I departed early AM for London, England. Business meeting on Friday and part of Saturday with the balance of the time - pleasure. Our flight arrived late and without David’s golf clubs. Although we were rushed to make his first meeting we had to complete lost baggage forms along with other Dan Air passengers with the same problem.
Apparently one of the cargo trailers never made it on board the plane. Off on the Gatwick Express train to London Victoria Station. David rushes to his meeting to his meeting and I remain there with the luggage and visit the many shops in the station.
As I’m waiting at our meeting place for David to return at 12:30PM, an American Airlines lady asks me to move from the area. It seems an older gentlemen had left an old pocket recorder of his on the desk kand they thought it could have been a bomb.
He returned for it and all was well. David returned from his meeting (late) and after a nice lunch I went to the hotel and he proceeded to his next meeting. Soon after I arrived - so did his golf clubs. Friday evening we ventured from the hotel to enjoy a meal at “The Three Magpies” pub - a very delicious and reasonable place for London.

Sunday, September 15
Church was great. The organist gave us a fine display of how the pipe organ can sound.
Monday, September 16
I attended a more formal coffee with Iris, Soneda and Denise with the Amercan Women’s Group of Paris - a fine organization but too expensive to join.
Tuesday, September 17
I attended a more centrally oriented coffee with the ladies of the church residing in and around my area of town. Very convenient to me - only 1 train stop away
Wednesday, September 18
David left at 5:30am for a day trip to Milano, Italy and returned home at midnight.
Thursday, September 19
I attended Bible Study Fellowship and began studying Israel and the Minor Prophets. It’s a new venture for me but one I feel will be spiritually rewarding.

Boxes Arrived
Our boxes arrive at 9:30AM. What a treat! It’s like Christmas. The apartment is a mess again but we had to open each one to see if anything was damaged. All was O.K. We celebrated with a champagne brunch - what fun! The afternoon finds us back at IKEA purchasing a bed for bedroom 2.
