One of the most famous museums in the world is the Louvre, or more correctly the Musée du Louvre, and it was one of the items that was high on my Paris must-see list. It is […]

As is often the case when travelers get to talking, the discussion soon turns to places we’ve been, places we’re going, and places we want to go.
One of my favorite recent trips was to Paris.

I am a lover of art in all its forms. When I step inside the Louvre, I stand in the central court and struggle with which wing to enter first. I know, no one out there is boo-hooing over my dilemma. Living in Paris allows one the luxury of taking in ancient Egypt one day […]
Put your pencils down people. You have had plenty of time to try and figure out how my mind works….if indeed you have figured that out, please let me in on the secret, ok? So, answers to this week’s haiku:
little eye contact, even less personal space, get me out of here
Here you have a […]
The museums of Paris have what I would consider some of the best shopping around. Their gift shops are filled with amazing goodies–reproduction jewelry from their collections, scarves, books dedicated to specific exhibits and even the tried and true Mona Lisa mouse pad. Even their cheesy attempts at consumerism come out looking not so bad! For […]
Walking through the Tuileries gardens is a part of each day that I spend in Paris. I plan my route so that I can enjoy all it has to offer either on my way to where I am going, on my return or both. That’s how much I enjoy being here. It is always crowded, […]

I recently sent one of my poems (not this one) to be included in the Jack Kerouac exhibit that will be taking place on the 23rd of September in Paris at the Cabaret Pirate in front of the BNF (Bibliothèque Nationale de France), which got me to thinking…. How could I have not seen that […]
Are you disheartened when you see the long lines at all the “must see” places in Paris like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre? Just the idea of spending literally hours waiting to go somewhere or see something when time is short need not be your reality while visiting the City of Lights!
“How?” you ask. […]
