Yesterday as I was walking through the Tuilleries, I spied some heavy duty cranes in the distance (the kind you build skyscrapers with). That seemed odd and out of character for the gardens but much work was being done to get the grounds ready for spring. As I got closer, more than just cranes appeared….

Oh, yuck! Not the headline you want to read when you happen to be in a country that has the Euro as its currency. I have been watching it steadily go up the entire time I’ve been here but try not to think about it too much. Not being very good in math has helped […]
As much as I love shopping, there are two things I hate having to spend time looking for: jeans and bras. As I get older, the body parts that play a pivotal role in these two purchases no longer want to cooperate. They are beginning to behave like the toddler in a stroller who has […]
I thought I had better get this posted for any of you who might be interested in coming to Paris to run! April 6, 2008 is the 32nd annual Paris Marathon. Starting on the Champs Elysée and finishing up on Avenue Foch, the route takes you west to east and back again. Whether you really […]
Magnificent, over-the-top gorgeous! What do you think I am talking about? It could be a million things the way my mind works but specifically, I am talking about today in Paris. Sunny, warm, not a cloud in the sky and everyone out and about enjoying every second of it.

Île Saint-Louis is an oasis in the middle, literally, of the hustle and bustle of Paris. It is one of two natural islands dividing the Seine and is an example of some of the first attempts at urban planning as it was mapped out from end to end which is apparent when you see it. Compared […]
I had another whirlwind day. Since I can officially say that I know the city like the back of my hand, I am able to cover significant ground in very little time. I even surprised myself a little bit with how much I did and saw. The day started here, at Place Colette in the […]
One doesn’t need an alarm clock to be woken up and told what time it is. The walls are thin in my apartment and I can hear pretty much everything going on around me whether I want to or not. Showers being taken, little kids whining about having to move quicker to get out the […]
Yesterday at 5:15pm, I parked my tired body at Café Mabillon and indulged in a nice glass of Chardonnay and the little dish of peanuts and olives that you see here. Those little goodies are pretty much standard when you order an apéritif. For 5.oo€ that’s a good deal. It could almost be dinner for […]
Today was another jam packed day that has left every muscle in my body sore. That sounds bad but really it is all about having walked the entire city because, #1. I can and #2. it was an absolutely gorgeous day again that everyone took advantage of. Rain is in the forecast tomorrow and we […]
