Tall Tales from Kansas

My name is Carol. I live in Kansas. I write about stuff that happens to me as I walk through the world. Most of it is true.

do things like this happen to you when you are traveling

At this exact minute, I am looking out the window of the Sheraton at the Charles de Gaul airport in Paris. An Air France flight just took off. How is it possible that 11 days have passed since I departed from Kansas City? The wonderful Daniella from My Paris Driver, scooped us up from our place in Fontainebleau and safely deposited us here to spend the night before our departure in the morning. Easy walking from within the airport to security and to our gates. More tales of our travels to come, but I wanted to show you some scenes from the Fontainebleau version of the farmers market.

Posting from the iPad is slightly different than my usual way. Hopefully this works. Right now I must go downstairs to ask at the desk why the lights in our room have gone off and we can’t figure out how to get them on. Do things like this happen to you when you are traveling?

    If I remembering correctly, something similar to your experience with the lights happened to my coworker when she was in Paris. The lights were controlled with the room card key to ensure they wouldn’t be left on when the guest left the room. Seems like you had to swipe the light switch with the card. I’ll be interested in learning if your issue was something similar.

    Always enjoy seeing the market pictures…it would be so nice to have a market within walking distance and have fresh food daily.

    Safe travels home!

      It was a blown fuse apparently. Quickly resolved. Thanks for good travel wishes.

    I would have gone downstairs, but as you know my bra was off and I was already in my sleep costume.
