The eighth thing I learned in 2024 -- my love of Paris and our friends there continues

The eighth thing I realized again in 2024 is that I love Paris -- more than ever.
This year we visited Paris for a week that began in April and ended in May.
A perfect time of year.  Just exquisite. We were super happy, and loved 
it for all the same reasons.  We walked everywhere, enjoying my 
capacity to walk, because my knees have improved. 

We did visit the Musée D’Orsay, and the Orangerie.  The first time we walked to the
Musée D'Orsay it was closed, and we sat down on a curb to watch young 
skateboarders jump off a five foot high structure onto the concrete below.  Of
the five in the 
line to try it, only one didn't fall.  We were amazed that they could pick themselves up, and try unsuccessfully again. And again!

After that we walked happily back to our hotel. We saw friends and just loved
every minute there.

Of course it is my dream to go again.  And if you can, I hope you do.

Have a loving your life day.
