California 1968 FINAL ITINERARY

 
The Hotel Dagmar is long gone, as is "La Capoulade".  
However, "Les Noces de Jeannette" is still there.  Maybe that's where we should hold our reunion!

    Wow. I can't believe you still have this stuff. What a great way to jog one's memory. I have vague recollections of what we did, but it's so interesting to see it all laid out. As for the tour of Chartres with Malcolm Miller...that was the highlight of the Paris trip for me. I devoted more pages in my journal to that experience than to any other all year. Thanks!

    The highlight of the Paris trip for me was going to Les Halles with Candi and Robert (and?) at 2 a.m. the morning before we left for Pau. I still remember the onion soup! Chartres (with Malcolm Miller) comes in second. The meal at "Les Noces de Jeannette" and picnicking in the rain under a weeping willow on the edge of the lake in the Bois de Boulogne with Candi, Linda and Leslie tie for third.

    I was there for the onion soup and felt very sad when I learned "les Halles" were being transferred to Rungis. I also remember the Chartres tour. It was very impressive. Have you got any pics of the Bois de Boulogne picnic? That might jog my memory.

    Linda, I thought you went to Les Halles, too. Was it just the 4 of us? Wasn't there another boy along? Maybe John? --The Bois de Boulogne picnic is in my "mind's eye". I can "see" us sitting under the dripping willow tree. Often that's simply the memory of a photo we've seen, but I don't think I have one. I'll look.

    What a wonderful souvenir to have saved all these years. I don't remember porters loading our bags onto the train. I thought we carried the bags on ourselves. I also recall that upon our arrival in Pau, we had to pass our suitcases out the windows of the train compartments to others outside because the stop in Pau was not long enough for everyone to descend carrying suitcases. It was like a fire drill.

    I remember them telling us that we'd have only 3 minutes to get ourselves and all of our luggage off the train! I was terrified, imagining the train pulling out of the station with us still descending--one foot on, one foot off.

    I had completely forgotten that the name of the hotel was Dagmar. All I had in my memory banks was Rue St. Jacques, and I remembered the name of the hotel Hotel St. Jacques.... No wonder I couldn't find it!
