On the 26, 27 and 28 of May I went to Paris to meet with Sue and Gunter and their tow daughters. Sue teaches in the Horticulture program at Fanshawe and Gunter is a famous chef, so we were assured of eating the best food and drinking the best wine which we did. It was a great time to sit back and relax, the first I have really done since coming to England in October and forget about all the pressures of the research. We had no agenda and were content to walk around, admire the sites and sit in cafes.

The entrance to a museum, Paris is very grand as you can see from the images, with something to see at every corner.
The church at the veterans hospital.
Some famous short guy, who was defeated at the battle of Waterloo.
The veterans hospital, part of which is still in use today. At the back are extensive parterre gardens.

We enjoyed our visit with Michael in Paris. I think he was feeling a little bit homesick and happy to see some familiar faces??!! It seems like all we did was eat, drink, walk and talk - a typical Sue & Gunter vacation.
