Envy and Jealousy Part V

Mom and Dad's trip is coming to a close. They are (or will be) in France for a couple of days. First, they spend some time in Burgundy. Patrice advised them to splurge on a fancy-pants dinner, since Burgundy is the cradle of culinary genius in the land of culinary genius. I hope they actually splurge, rather than kind of splurge. Dad has a tendency to be....frugal, shall we say? Then again, his frugality over his entire adult life is the reason he's celebrated several recent birthdays on different continents. Still, splurge, I say!
This is the Hotel Dieu, a medieval hospital turned museum.

Paris. They will get to explore some comparatively unbeaten paths in Paris, since they did travel to London and Paris a few years ago. Then again, the beaten paths are well worn for a reason. They may just retrace their steps.

Now I'm feeling a teeny little bit of sadness? something else? that I don't live in Colorado anymore. I wish I could pick them up from the airport and listen to their stories on the way home and look at their pictures with them. Really, I do! That's what we do you know, listen to and tell each other stories. I'm a little jealous of Sheila, who is next on the Mom and Dad visit list. Or is it Diana? Now that I think about it, Di is probably next. The deer hunt comes before the baptism this year.
