I'm sorry I do not have a Paris post today... unfortunately, I had to attend the funeral of our dear French friend Nilia's long-time companion, Antonio. In this beautiful church in Venice, California... many came to pay their respects and listen to a wonderful mass... it was very enlightening... sad...
