Paris, France

We only had two days at the French Open because we needed to return to Paris on Sunday morning to claim our key for our apartment rental. We were also concerned about having enough time to see Paris. At the dance event, it was a familiar scene visually because they were doing West Coast as we know it, following the same social rules. I never had a bad dance! The leaders could lead very well. There was no chit chat for us though because we can’t speak French. The leaders had to make what they wanted very clear. I did miss the social visiting part, however. Also we were aware that there was some joking around with the commentary but we missed every chance to laugh. Norm entered the Jack and Jill dance so he had a different perspective. From his standpoint, the dancers were very welcoming. I think his experience was deeper and more connected than mine because he joined in the competition. We wished we could have done the full event! It was hard to leave, but we thought we could go to many conventions each year but how often could we see Paris?
