Amuse-bouche

by HML

Welcome home, Thing One!  He’s still a bit groggy from jet lag, and after spending his evenings indulging in pastries and ice cream, he grew another inch taller.  It rained almost every day, but that won’t prevent a group of Seattleites from getting out and having fun, so he still had a fabulous time.

The camera we bought for Thing One to take on his spring break trip broke after three days of use.  One of his classmates had an identical camera, and hers broke mid-trip too.  Looking through online ratings (which we should have done ahead of time) we learned that this particular camera has a reputation for falling apart after about 500 pictures.  Luckily the memory card was undamaged, so even though we’re very sorry to miss his visits to Versailles and Giverny, we have about 600 photos to sort through, label and abridge into a travel album for the Gimlet Gallery.

While we work on the pictures (and while Thing One writes his travel report), enjoy a little sampling from Paris.  He was playing around with the “vintage” photo setting on the camera when he took these.

    Thing One got so many good pictures. We can all feel like we went on the trip to Paris with him. Hope you get some others from his friends for after the camera catastrophe.
