Hyatt Regency Madeleine - Paris, France

Well, it's safe to say that Bob and Marti got back together after the disastrous separation in the Paris subway. Marti stayed put and when Bob realized that she was not coming on the next several subways, he doubled back to the station where they had gotten separated and found her -whew, disaster averted! And she knew he would come for her, although it was a scary 30 minutes or so of just standing and waiting.

They quickly boarded another subway, got off at the Madeleine station and walked to the Hyatt Regency on the Boulevard Malesherbes. It was nice to be in an Americanized hotel, the first of our trip. It was also nice to be in a 4-star hotel - the service was wonderful and the people spoke English - hurray! I guess after 22 days, we were ready for some touches of the good old United States of America!

Our room was so nice and we had a beautiful, large bathroom for a change. Stephanie had arranged for a bottle of French wine to be waiting for us in our room with a package of these delicious pave candies that we grew to love! Welcome home, we thought. We were ready for some luxury!
