Update Paris France, July 2010
We visited Paris France in route to Kenya for a Safari. I'll be posting pictures and some comments these following days. In Paris, we met our friend, Michael Genelin, mystery writer of the Jana Matinova Series: Dark Dreams,Siren of the Waters, and another one forthcoming. Here are some pictures with Michael. Lauren is wearing red; and I'm not the blonde. I have more pictures taken in Paris, and even more of the fantastic Safari in Kenya, so visit again, Cecilia
