October in Paris

Chisholm

The 3 Stooges

Here we are in Paris! Not quite the "real" Paris, but a pretty interesting town anyway. We arrived fairly early and had a good visit with some of the folks at our host church. After getting cleaned up at our hotel,we went to see some of the local sites. Nancy is still with us, so she acted as chauffeur and we went to see the Eiffle tower (small version) and the Chisholm monument (remember the Chisholm trail?). We were told that there was a statue of Jesus with cowboy boots on at the local cemetery. We couldn't find it and can't help but wonder if we were on a snipe hunt?!

Methodist Church

Fountain

We also went downtown to see a fountain imported from France (so we are told), and the Methodist Church. What a classic old building!

Ice Cream!

After the sight seeing we went to a recommended fish and steak restaurant for dinner. I had Cajun broiled catfish. Best ever! Dave's birthday was today, and that event couldn't go without some celebration.

Nancy had an ice cream 40th treat for him when we got to the hotel. Then at dinner another present. I don't know how to tell you what it is in a dignified way; but if you can imagine the chaffing that goes on when a biker spends many hours pedaling-well, you get the idea.

So we had a good day. Lots of things to photograph, unlike the last couple of days. Tomorrow we go to Texarkana, and may be in Texas or may be in Arkansas depending on which part of town we stay in.

I hope you are all well. We continue to covet your prayers, and pray for God's blessings on you as well. Please pray for Dave's sore knee. Today was a tough day for him. (Well, he is 40 now, so the body may be feeling it.) More later.
