The only eventful part of the trip to Paris was the San Diego airport where we found that we had two overweight items. The help of a kind United agent and the use of a little Brazilian portuguese saved us quite a bit of money. We arrived a little early and daughter Kathy and her husband David were waiting for us. We are still staying with them and will be for another three plus weeks.
God has been gracious in providing a nice used car at a good price. For any car buffs it is a 2007 Dacia Logan. You can surely check it out on Google, if interested. Finally, today we learned that we have been accepted to rent a house in Villers Saint-Paul, the area I felt God was leading us to. It has been quite an adventure renting a house or apartment. There is little for rent. Usually you have to wait one to three months for occupancy. They qualify you by your income only and ours is not too hefty. We are a different breed of animal - both retired and from a foreign country. But... our God has been able to overcome all obstacles. Praise be to His Name!
We are anxious to get there and get settled; then go to work. God has frequently needed to remind me of the need of patience and that patience is a virtue, not a glitch in my plans. The next step will be to get the house furnished; then to start meeting neighbors and shopkeepers; joining social clubs, etc. etc. I'll be back in touch after we move in and get settled.
