(Tuesday and Wednesday, April 29 and 30) - Our return to Paris was an adventure. After successfully retrieving our luggage in Rouen, Mike dropped me off at the train station where I quickly bought a ticket and ran to catch my train. I spent the next four hours on a train, the metro, the RER and waiting 45 minutes for a shuttle to our hotel. Luckily I had brought along The Kite Runner to read during my long journey. Mike, Spencer, Grandma and Grandpa drove the rental car through pouring rain back to our airport hotel. We read This is Paris one last time to Spencer before bed.
The next morning, we ate our last European buffet breakfast before heading to the airport. The folks at Air Canada were kind enough to spare us the long ticketing line and expedite our check-in because we were traveling with a toddler. Before we could get to our gate, part of the airport was closed off in order to explode an unattended package. The flight to Toronto was fairly uneventful. No screens in the seat backs but Spencer had Grandma and Grandpa and new toys to entertain him. He fell asleep the moment the plane started rolling away from the gate on our flight to Los Angeles and slept the whole way home.
