Paris
Arrived at Charles de Gaulle Int Airport yesterday, and took the Metro into Paris, ate the first in a series of steak-frit, and checked in to the TimHotel Palais Royale; not too touristy and 10 minutes from the Louvre.
Louvre was overwhelming, so we did the obligatory Mona Lisa, then focused on African, Iranian, and Mesapotamiam collections.
We toured the city on the 69 Bus, then walked, and walked and found the Restaurant Royale where we ate this:

Reykjavik
5 AM, here we are in Keflavik International Airport, Reykjavik, Iceland. Flight from Halifax was a bonus: upgraded to First Class with all meals, drinks and perks involved.
Our three-hour visit has given us an appetite for more. Keflavik is an award-winning airport with designer shops and restaurants which create a strong sense of place.We'll try to spend a few days here on our way home.

Halifax
Goodbye to Regency Park.
We're on our way. Cairo and Malakeya International Language school are big unknowns, but we have high hopes for both.
