Flew into Paris arriving on May 13th. Everything went well. The next day we found out by phone that our dog Sparty had died of a stroke the day before. That news got the trip started on a bad note.
The weather was nice and we had a day to walk around Paris. It is as beautiful as ever.
On Saturday we meet up with the barge that we will stay on for the next two weeks. The name of the barge is the Feniks and it sails out of Amsterdam. On Sunday we start biking. We will eventually make our way to Brugges, Belgium.
