Then we went to the Opera Garnier for a ballet based off of a Proust novel. I went in search of the secret passages below the building a la Phantom, but a nice usher informed me that sadly there was no lake. But I swear this had to be part of it once:
We also had apertifs with my French host and her family. Here's a picture of my mom talking with her daughter Pauline and her other daughter Marie's husband:
Well, those were the highlights, but there was a ton more that we did, including walking through some covered passages, visiting the Marais (the jewish quarter, French for "swamp") for my parents' first time, and paying a visit to la Bastille. More pictures to come soon!
Looks like we had fun. Mom sent more pictures of the trip with your "new" laptop and camera.
