I'll be honest, my first taste was a big stretch for me. Let's just say I had to take my mind to another place and just focus on the garlic and butter. After the first one, I felt as if I'd been initiated into the Parisian Club. Bon appétit!
ha ha ha! To me it tasted like dirt! I promised my son that we would not have escargots on the menu during a pilgrimage to Europe. Guess what? Escargots the first night in Paris! My son's face was something to behold! Patsy from HeARTworks
Yummm. Anybody that can eat a gummy bear (bizarre texture) or a hot dog (bizarre content) should have no problem with snails. And unlike the former, "les escargots sont bons pour la santé" !
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.
