Day Two in Paris
Tea bag has something to do with your grandmother's church?
ReplyDeleteWell, I think it is a sign that I am going on the Camino Santiago (Way of St.James) and I am getting little "signs" about St.James. Don't you, Mary?
DeleteHi Barb.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics. Yes, the teabag was a sign.
It's too late now, but you were very near Rue St. Jacques which was the traditional point of departure for pilgrims leaving Paris in the direction of Santiago! There is also a Tour St Jacques on the right bank which is a remnant of a church destroyed during the revolution.
