So I will start by apologizing in advance… the next few days I am traveling from Pittsburgh to Chicago to Cincinnati and back to Pittsburgh; my chances to write may be limited but I will do my best to find a little time each day.
4 June 2013… Paris
I spent a day in Paris before taking the train to Saint Jean Pied-de-Port, what an amazing city. I was given a ring for good luck from the Gypsy Queen (that’s for you Aoífe!), had dinner at a wonderful little restaurant recommended by a friend, attended Vespers at Notre Dame, and sat by the Seine as a wrote in my journal. I walked all around Paris that day, it was weird to be away from my wife, but I was so anxious and excited to get on that train the next morning.
