Fun and Adventure: Travel Day to Orly and Champeaux
Well, the day began with short goodbyes as we left the beautiful wedding chateau and had to say goodbye to Aimee, Justin, and the girls as well as other fun guests we had met. We were hoping to make it to the brunch they offered but it was served late and we had to leave to get Alyssa to Paris.
Traffic got worse and worse and we were unable to get to Alyssa to Orly until an hour before her flight! This was not good!!! The lesson learned: LISTEN TO ELVA who had begged and conjoled to leave an hour or so earlier than we did. Mom knows best!!??
Meanwhile, our friend, Christophe, had kindly waited and drove us to his home in Champeaux--we then turned on our phones after about 2 hours to learn that Alyssa had missed her flight! What should she do? After trying in vain to reach her, and lo and behold, a ring at the door and there she was!!
The Charpentiers were wonderful in opening their home to all of us and feeding us all!
Christophe and I drove Alyssa to Charles de Gaul airport and then enjoyed a wonderful breakfast
We then walked around Champeaux and visited their lovely Gothic church dated from around 1200!
And then a dinner of roasted duck and ratatoille with cheese and fruit tarte! and the Lord even brought a friend by to share the meal and fellowship with us!
And then our ever giving Christophe drove us back to Orly a 45 minute trip that took an hour and 45 minutes and then off to Stockholm and finally to bed at about 1:30 a.m. !
