September in Paris

I spent most of the second half of September in Europe!  An arbitration hearing brought me to Zurich for three hearing days and several preparation days spread over a two-week period.  But what to do with the four-day weekend that magically appeared in the middle of all the work?  Why, how about getting a baby-sitter for the kids back in NJ and having Lisa meet me in Paris?  Sound like a nice idea??  Well, that's exactly what we did, and it was spectacular.

Following a somewhat comical false start trying to find each other Friday morning at Charles deGaulle Airport, Lisa and I spent a fabulous weekend in Paris.  The weather was absolutely perfect.  Making our home base at the Waldorf Trocadero Hotel, we walked until our shoes (and legs) were worn out, ate entirely too much, and saw many well-known, and some less well-known, sights.  Here are some pictures to help recount our visit.

Responding to complaints that my photography is too heavy on children and buildings, I made a special effort to get pictures of Lisa and me on this trip.  Enjoy!
