No Bible Study today as tomorrow is a holiday in France - “All Saints Day”. Today is Halloween but you wouldn’t know it here. The practice of Trick or Treating is not done here. There are no candy bags for sale, nor any costumes.
We have only seen one small specialty shop with a few decorations in the window. We had wondered how children would be able to trick or treat if it were a tradition here, as the access to apartment buildings and houses is only with a key thru common front doors, gates, etc.
Well, the car is packed. It’s 5PM. David was to leave the office at 1PM???. He didn’t make it. We’re driving to the Brittany area for this 3 day weekend. guess we’ll leave tomorrow as it’s getting dark.

This is the first post in the journal writings by Georgia Christal. They are being re-written in chronological order exactly the way she originally wrote each entry, starting with the journal, My Life in France, when she and her husband moved to Paris France for work. The title will always be the date of the original entry.
Departure for Paris - Sunday, June 2, 1991
Departure for Paris. With my family of well wishers to bid us farewell we finally boarded the plane only to wait thru a major rainstorm. But American Airlines Business Class was good and the Champagne was great!
