Paris

[Guest guest]

Dear Marcos,

I hope you will correspond with the young man in France. I didn't say that

about Paris, it was a quote from Mark Twain's book. He could spin a lot of

yarns, tongue in cheek and this was one of them, I suppose. I actually do like

Paris there is so much to see and do there. We preferred riding the Metro

rather than taking a cab. Our friends would take a cab and we would arrive at

the same destination within minutes of one another. There is no better ham in

the world than in Paris, or the French bread or fries. We saw a photo of La

Mouche on the Seine the other day and the Pons Neuf, and remembered we had been

a passenger on it.

I love their soft cheeses, too and the best omlettes. Don't like the Galois or

the coffee, but there are lots of other things to like. We went to the old

restaurant on the Eiffel tower built in 1900, and it was later dismantled and

sold to a man in New Orleans, so we got to see it in Paris and New Orleans where

it was turned into a restaurant and the new one in Paris. The man in New

Orleans did not make a wise business choice and went bankrupt, and the building

is empty.

What I did mean to say, is that you keep in shape and that is probably why you

maintain good health. I do worry about the constant diving that you could be

damaging your eyes. The divers in Acupulco eventually do go blind from the

pressure and then pose for pictures for money. There is a disease called

irreversible retinal artery thrombosis. Because of internal pressure, could

there also be the danger of retinal artery occlusion? Maybe you have

researched everything about diving and I am just preaching to the choir, but it

does bear looking into. I had a viterous detachment many years ago, and it was

weeks before I knew my vision would be saved. Later when I had a heart attack,

I suffered from amorosis fugax and again feared I wouldn't get my vision back

then, either, both in the same eye and my only good eye. You know in the land

of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, but I couldn't count on the other eye

with amblyopia. LOL

Blessings and take care of your eyes as well as your body, we still want to see

a picture of your abs, LOL,

Lottie
