Caudebec France day 1, spirit

French Abbey
Second Abbey visit today. This one is still in use.

Work and pray.

In silence.

Probably a few exceptions in a Monk’s life.

Vernon France, spirit

Claud Monet’s haystack replica.

Could feel Claud Monet’s historic life DNA in Giveny, France.

Knew next to nothing about him before today (April 23, 2026).

Paris to Normandy Cruise, spirit

First Paris rooftop sunrise.

In a midnight dream last night…

Serving HIM by serving you.

Start with family.

If you cannot do great things, do small things with great love, said Mother Teresa who served the poorest of the poor.

Arrive Paris a day early, spirit

Checked in and room ready at 11:30am. Wasn’t expecting that. Photo from hotel’s top floor.

Our taxi driver, Israr, was exceptional.

A delightful surprise.

His parents moved from Pakistan to Paris around 1996.

He’s a native Parisian.

He taught himself English by watching (English) subtitled American movies. He speaks four languages.

He exceeded our expectations.

Fly to Paris, spirit

Orlando from jet
11:30am…see ya in two weeks, Orlando.

Chapin is driving us to the airport.

His Disney shifts have been consistently starting at 5:00am.

As “Disney Magic” would have it, he’s off today, a Sunday.

Ps. This is a bigger deal to us than it should be. And we couldn’t feel more grateful that it’s worked out this way, without even trying.
