The ultimate man has finally emerged wearing cape and T shirt to prove it.
Having just spent 10 days in England with friends linked to the Salt and Light Churches and ministering in many situations [ what great people and churches ] Dale and I boarded a plane to spend four days in Paris to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
What a beautiful city, what a romantic vibe, what an expensive experience !!!
Paris in Spring-cool days, beautiful walks, mind blowing architecture, pickpockets galore , cafes and shops to kill for.
One site that captivated me: The Musee D'eOrsay. Could have spent all day in this art gallery with its hundreds of paintings done by artists like Monet, Van Gogh and Renoir that had previously only been seen by me in books and magazines. Such extraordinary beauty with some paintings over 4 meters in length that reached from the ceiling to the floor with their enormous size and detail drawing you into their full wonder.
Other paintings could have been done by a tantrum throwing 3 year old but overall a brilliant stop and worth every moment of the time spent there.
Our favorite cafe just 30 meters from our little hotel unit found us in conversation with english speaking locals who loved the All Blacks and told us where to shop while evading the local pick pocket's.
Finished off with a weekend with our good friends Dave and Rhi Day [lead church in Bristol] in Barcelona , Spain, which again was so much fun. Lots of interesting people , sites and food . Sat in the local sports cafe with a room full of Welsh supporters cheering on their team to their six nations victory. Could have been at Cardiff Arms park with all the noise .
So that's where we have been .Totally wonderful.
So the ultimate man cant stop smiling after what has been a great trip with the love of his life .
Will wear the T shirt as long as possible and bore our friends crazy with travel pics and exaggerated stories.
Thanks
Fraser
