Arriving Paris



To wake up in Paris is a fine thing and to wake up in a boat moored at Port Arsenault is an even finer thing.  We arrived in the City of Lights yesterday after an exciting trip up the Seine. This is a trip that John and I have talked about for years and it was the culmination of all our plans and the learning curve of a sometimes painful building project. 

So for something different this week I have posted two time lapse videos we took as we made our way upstream to Paris. Forgive my novice attempts, but Tyler suggested we do this 2 days ago and therefore I've struggled to learn the techy stuff to get these up and running. They are  a bit of silly fun and next week we will be back to regular posting! 

This Video is a time-lapse of entering the suburbs of Paris up the Seine on September 23, 2017

A second time-lapse video takes place after the lock at Suresnes and entering the lock to Port Arsenal Marina on the same day.
