Back to the City Different
My plans are set – the ticket is bought, the casita is reserved and the deposit is paid. I’m FINALLY going to go to Indian Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico this year!!! My two previous trips to Santa Fe were in the winter. While it’s still lovely then, I’m looking forward to seeing it … Continue reading
Date Number Two With Guy Number One
You remember the first guy from the on-line dating website, right? Well, T. has been texting me every so often telling me to let him know if I wanted to grab a drink together or if I wanted to go for a walk with his dog and him. He even texted me when I was … Continue reading
Musical Monday Takes You To…
Indonesia because I’m longing to be on the beach again. Enjoy! “Pulang” by Float
Le Fin
Why is it that vacations always end far too soon, whether they’re one week or one month? There’s never enough time to do everything that you intended, no matter how well you’ve planned! With that being said, yes, my week in Paris went by much more quickly than I’d anticipated. During my time in Paris, … Continue reading
Plus Paris
On Monday night I ended up having dinner at a rustic little restaurant called Les Bougresses. It’s basically across the street from the hotel that I stayed at in the 4th arrondissement the last 2 trips, yet I never recall it being there. The place was small, but warm, with one waiter who greeted everyone … Continue reading
The Truth Is…
I was always meant for Paris and Paris was always meant for me. I tried to tell myself that Italy better suited me. I even tried to find my spirituality in Bali. Now that I’m here again, I realize that Paris is my one true love. She’s neither broken my spirit or my heart, and … Continue reading
Oh La La! It’s Musical Monday (at least, in Paris, it is)
Let’s keep going with the French theme, shall we? Now I know that Madeline Peyroux has her version, but I love this one by DeeDee Bridgewater. “J’ai Deux Amours” – DeeDee Bridgewater
La Vie En Rose Continues
On Saturday I ended up going back over to Montmartre to take the Culture Fish Tour. Two brothers and their sister, who have an American dad of Lebanese descent and a French mother, decided to start the company together. As far as I know, they give two tours – one of the major sights of … Continue reading
Paris is Calling
Yesterday already seems like a blur. I woke up early, but fell back asleep until 9:20 a.m. Normally, anywhere on vacation, I wake up around 7:00 a.m., if not earlier. Obviously, the bed in this apartment is way too comfortable! I did walk over to Notre Dame intending to take a tour of the … Continue reading
“Paris Is Always A Good Idea”
Do you recall that line from Sabrina? The ending of that movie always makes me tear up a little, though I never saw the original one – only the most recent remake. My flight to the City of Lights was mostly uneventful. It was slightly cold on the plane, however. As I wrapped my blanket … Continue reading
