Meme has arrived!

Meme is here and we are thrilled.  We had a busy day yesterday.  We started off by walking to the market.  We stopped for a quick photo shoot at the Eiffel Tower.  Sylvia was too busy running around to be photographed.







The fountain behind Palais de Chaillot has been turned into an enormous area to watch the Euro Cup--Europe's World Cup.  There is a huge TV and people love it.  Wherever you go people are wearing scarves and wrapped in flags to support their teams.

These girls were very excited to see their Meme.  She delivered all of our Canadian desires and more.  The girls are becoming word search pros.


Happiness is a visit from Meme (and peanut butter!)



 





We took the metro across town to the 13th arrondissement to visit Oya a game store where you can pull up a chair (and pay a fee) and play some games.  We played one with turtles and one with ghosts.  This photos would not behave and is out of order!



Meme bought the girls bouquets at the market and Sylvia got a watch!















The gracious winners.
We played five different times and these two cleaned up. 

We walked through Chinatown in search of dinner.  Most restaurants don't open until 7:00 or 8:00 and this can be a problem for us because our Canadian tummies start rumbling around 5:00.
  

We found a Cambodian restaurant that was open.  We went to the raw buffet and cooked everything up right at the table.  The girls were a little scared of the grills--and I was glad.


 After dinner we went to Parc Choissy and tried out their excellent play equipment!
