My brother and his wife were there last year, so in a way, I was there by proxy. :) I dream about it all the time - going, I mean. Have you ever seen the film, AMERICAN DREAMER? Most of it takes place in Paris. It's a great deal of fun. Loved this post.

Its difficult for me to sit too long on my computer chair to blog. I also cannot do as much as I used too.<br />My first view of the Eiffel tower, was 40 years ago. When we built our first house in Cascais. We travelled by car from Brussels and passed by Paris. Its an amazing building. Mr. Eiffel was an amazing architect and engineer. <br />I am sure you remember the ' Elavador Justa' in lisbon.. that was built by him. Recently the exit at the top has been updated. <br />We did not visit many places, as time was limited.<br />Your photos of all these wonderful buildings are so wonderful . You have captured some amazing images.<br />Having had the most fantastic adventure of my life, sailing from the African continent.. to Europe.. with a stop and dropping anchor in the bay of Jamestown.. St. Helena. Staying there for 2 months. My children learnt more about Napoleon in depth.. and played in the grounds of Longwood Hall..where he was exiled to. The caretakers became friends and their grandson was at school with my eldest three. <br />Your posts are always so inspiring and informative Rosemary. <br />I so enjoyed this one.<br />wishing you a good week.. val xxvalerietilsten59.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617190196811279000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-90816578729432355892015-06-29T14:48:16.962+01:002015-06-29T14:48:16.962+01:00Thank you Steph - glad that you enjoyed seeing som...Thank you Steph - glad that you enjoyed seeing some of your favourite city.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-36082024986898693452015-06-29T14:47:18.808+01:002015-06-29T14:47:18.808+01:00Very well done Amy - your comment came in first.Very well done Amy - your comment came in first.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-26083096858140282392015-06-29T14:45:54.774+01:002015-06-29T14:45:54.774+01:00Thank you Patricia - I have travelled to Paris lot...Thank you Patricia - I have travelled to Paris lots of times, but still haven't seen it all - time always catches up with me, and tired feet too.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-48496966907122301462015-06-29T14:42:15.477+01:002015-06-29T14:42:15.477+01:00Thank you Mike - The dome really does deserve clos...Thank you Mike - The dome really does deserve close inspection if is so intricate and beautiful - glad you enjoyed the shots I appreciate your kind commentRosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-17673317730188270572015-06-29T13:53:18.099+01:002015-06-29T13:53:18.099+01:00one of my favorite cities in the world and you cap...one of my favorite cities in the world and you captured it beautifully!stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462819419868208831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-43896473612974060412015-06-29T13:32:34.966+01:002015-06-29T13:32:34.966+01:00It looks as though you had a wonderful visit!!!

The new camera works a treat, but it is your eye which makes these wonderful compositions. Sadly, we ran out of time last year to see the Ecole Militaire, and it is great to see some of it. The dome, the blue/gold door, and the re quartzite tomb: all are so beautiful, as only the French can create.

I only mentioned that I intended to get a new camera and Gina asked me if I would let her know what I had decided to buy, so I informed her by email. <br />However, I am happy to share the details with you - I don't like big cameras, just the smallest I can get to fit in my pocket so that I can have it with me at all times. I have been looking for one that had a better zoom lens as I realised the limitations of my other little camera whilst travelling in India. <br />I am happy with the new camera which is a very good price at the moment as I believe that it is soon to be replaced. It is a Sony WX350 and I understand that it has the best zoom lens of all the small cameras. It also has a memory card that will hold over 3,000 photos and a special battery that will take almost 400 images before it needs recharging. If you need any other information please do ask.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-81278113178407614252015-06-28T21:19:31.869+01:002015-06-28T21:19:31.869+01:00It is very nice to return to some of the places vi...It is very nice to return to some of the places visited so many years ago in Paris - your mind and memory play tricks on you, but luckily L'Hôtel National des Invalides was still as beautiful as I recall it being, if not more so.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.com
