My wonderful host daughter

Sarah lived with our family in Wellington during 2000/2001 as a 16 year old French exchange student.  Now married with 2 beautiful young children and living on the outskirts of Paris, she welcomed me with very open arms today - and interrupted her work schedule when I suggested coffee.  Her local is a bright and airy energy filled boulangerie and patisserie.  How better to celebrate my arrival in the city of love and light !  No way I was going to be in this photo after almost 30 hours in the air,  but she agreed to be my subject.  Merçi Sarah.
