Not soon enough because I must get my dictionary to figure out some of that-HA! .....in paradise till the end of your life??? Jan 20th I hope. Hugs to you! V
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

"Bonne année, bonne santé et le paradis à la fin de votre vie!", that's what my grandmother said. When do you start your new French course? ;-)

I just want to live in the South Of Frnce and visit Paris often. Ah big sigh. Until then I'll visit upon the lovely image here.
Xenodochial Happy New Year
Oui, La Sigh! Aaaaaah!
Bonne Année, madame !
Ahhhh, I watched the last of the blue and for the New Year's Celebration it sparkled in shimmery white.
Less than three days left and I am tearing up at the thought. I'm leaving so much undone that I will have to return to do it all.
Paris has so changed me.
As Karen witnessed, the blue is gone!
Bonne Année mon amie!
B,

PJ, Very big la sigh!
