Dimitri and Victor have started school, so needless to say I've been filling my free time with all things French.
This city is a dream. Everything about Paris is in her details: from the colorful flowers hanging off of every other window sill, to the fragrant scent of an old lady's
parfum (perfume) mixed with her cigarette's smoke... I love it all.
In the past couple days, I explored Le Louvre, walked through Le Jardin des Tuileries and stumbled into Eglise Saint Augustin, Madeleine & Eglise Saint Phillipe du Roule. I might have stopped in a boulangerie or two; they are irresistible! I stood at Point Zero (center of Paris), walked across the Love Lock bridge on La Seine, ate some gelato at the renowned Berthillon, browsed Shakespeare & Co., and toured the Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Details:
-The walk from my house to Berthillon was just over an hour. It was worth it.
-There were flames coming out of my hair dryer last night.
-Ever thought of how many strangers have you in the background of their pictures?
-Dimitri and Victor will not stop singing Gangnam Style.
