HOTEL de PARIS, YOUR HOTEL IN PARIS
Gail found this hotel on the Web,
.
.
and we have nothing but praise for it….given the price of hotels in Paris, it qualifies as a budget hotel; its location is fabulous; it’s clean; and the staff are wonderful. If we come back to Paris, this is where we’ll stay!

CANAL BOATING – TREVOR to CHESTER and ELLESMERE PORT (UPDATED w/VIDEOS)
Our faithful canal boat, the Golden Meadow
took us safely across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, and we began our run towards Hurleston Junction, where we COULD turn off for the Midlands and hundreds of miles of canals. From Trevor, it’s 44.5 miles to the Junction, and we went through 21 locks to get down to there – perhaps 150 feet or so in lost elevation. Here’s our boat ready to leave a typical narrow lock

CANAL BOATING - TREVOR to LLANGOLLEN, return
Gail and I have dreamed for years of canal-boating around England…especially after she had a couple of experiences of day-trips. There’s something impossibly romantic about chugging quietly along (maximum speed four miles per hour) behind hedgerows, through the secret places in cities (including all over London) from Scotland to Kent, and from Norwich to Wales.
One of the most scenic and engineeringly interesting canals is the LLANGOLLEN in WALES, and that’s where we headed for two weeks to celebrate our retirement this summer. This is what we had in mind…..
