Paris

A day of sightseeing. Walked from my hotel to the Place de la Concorde, ate breakfast at an outdoor café in the Jardin des Tuileries, and spent an hour at the Louvre. Spent the afternoon taking a tour bus to Chartres, visiting the medieval town and cathedral. Back in Paris, had a fabulous dinner at a sidewalk café near my hotel.

Breakfast at the hotel with Marjo. Checked out, walked to the customer offices (Generali insurance group), spent a day making good progress on the Cobol API project; got it working in CICS, nearly so in batch. Lunch with Marjo and Paul Myall.

Checked into Mercure Royal Madeleine (29 rue de l’arcade), where I’ll be staying until Sunday. Went out by myself for a nice walk and dinner.
