Paris on Alitalia Airlines
To Paris on Alitalia airlines. Nice weather in Paris after a month of rain every day. We’re ready to move into our apartment. But no, the lady is still living there! So back to the Sofitel for the night.
Ate at a restaurant we discovered earlier, close to our laundromat in the Puteaux area. I ordered Calamari Frite (fried Calamari) and Spaghetti Bolognaise. David ordered veal. He got veal and my calamari (but not fried) and I got my spaghetti. Communication is great.
Editor’s Notes
They did not actually fly on American Airlines but I think she probably saw something she finally recognized, the double “AA” and had to take a photo. The airline they flew on is the yellow in the background.

I love this next photo. What a great shot of Madrid from the air as they depart the area.

Iberia and British Airways to Madrid
It’s early up today. 6:30am bus to the airport. Upon arrival at the airport our Iberia flight to Madrid, Spain was canceled. So we stand in line with hundreds of others for the next British Airways flight to Madrid.
Arrived late afternoon in Madrid. It’s hot here - 100 degrees +. Pool atop the Holiday Inn. I sunbathed with the topless ladies. It’s really different to go from “Bonjour” and “Merci” to “Buenos Dias” and “Gracias”. Loved the weather.
Our dinner was lobster at a nice restaurant where we watched them serve fish they had prepared - baked in salt.
Editor’s Notes
I still haven’t actually determined why they took this trip but my guess is it was a business trip that David was on when Georgia was able to go with him, as she did often.
These two photos were taken from the roof top pool of the Holiday Inn, in Madrid Spain. No, she did not take any photos of the other ladies she was sunbathing with, sorry.
