God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Paris, Day 4

Today was a free day (no Thrivent planned sight-seeing), so we decided to walk around town.  We did a great deal of walking and found a local cafe to have lunch when we needed a rest and a toilette.  Because the month of August is vacation for the Parisians, Paris is less crowded.  Many shops are closed, since their owners are on vacation.  The weather is also unseasonably cool, which means we needed jackets most of the day.  It has been fall-like, which is perfect weather to walk.
The Seine


Under this spot is the tunnel where Princess Diana got in her fatal car accident.  This flame is a memorial to her.

This hotel had lovely flower boxes - so pretty

Place Vendome is right next to our hotel - high end shopping.

our hotel - The Westin

In the park across from our hotel is a park, Louvre Tuileries, which has a carnival set up.

After sight-seeing and shopping, we went back to the hotel to get ready for dinner, which just happened to be at Versailles.
