At boarding in Paris, we had to give a filled-out form declaring we had a fresh negative test (the U.S. didn't care about vaccination status) on a recent trip. We went 2 weeks after our second shots; at that time France's numbers were worse than the U.S.'s. That has reversed dramatically. In the center of the U.S., nobody wore masks and we got very hostile looks for having them on. A number of restaurants refused to serve us on their terraces, citing lack of staff. We refused to eat in the A/C and moved on. Masking and precautions (and outdoor dining) were better in NY, but in late August it was so hot and humid that all safe, outdoor activity was miserable. We were very happy and relieved to get back to France.Taste of Francehttp://francetaste.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-26930275424861785572021-09-17T10:05:38.278+02:002021-09-17T10:05:38.278+02:00Autumn is on it's way here too.

Yesterday it was 26º just after 8 a.m., but this morning it was 20º. For the first time in months I felt the need of a light sweater in shady areas. <br />At least Sophie's hair is getting better marks than some of your recent breakfast croissants!Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-11572439417266438622021-09-17T09:37:30.043+02:002021-09-17T09:37:30.043+02:00That last shot of Sophie is a doozy!

We went at 5 o'clock, so there was no one there, and between that and being outside, it felt reasonably safe. Charlie's first restaurant visit. He was quite good at least until the steak appeared. In any event, now that we've got that out of our system, we'll go back to enjoying the menus included in your posts as a substitute for the real thing.Lisa in Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080757130655335246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-7886570669449260272021-09-17T07:23:13.634+02:002021-09-17T07:23:13.634+02:00I thought of you this morning when I saw a cartoon...I thought of you this morning when I saw a cartoon - dog intently staring, when shepherd/owner comes up and says "We are going to have to give you a haircut, you've been guarding those rocks for the last hour".
