I don't know about you, but this just didn't seem right to me. Mojitos and Ice Tea are to be enjoyed back home, not in Paris. What do you think? Of course, bring on the glace et sorbet!!!

Paris je t'aime
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.

Well, for some people Paris is home... and shouldn't it be "iced tea?" :)
Yes, I was also going to ask about the "iced tea". Which in Europe means just one cube anyway, HA!

Oh but Virginia, it aint' real sweet tea like you have back home in Alabama.
I'd be so glad to be in Paris, I doubt Mojitos and Ice Tea would perturb me. That said, I also doubt I'd choose either one over glace et sorbet. I love those chairs in the background.
Well, my immediate answer to what's wrong with this picture is that I'm not in it! I realize they're catering to the visitors, but when in Paris iced(!) tea is the last thing I'm likely to consume! And what's your Parisian beverage of choice, V?
wcs,
HA, well you're right of course, it is home to a lot of lucky people. I guess It just irks me to see the "americanization" of Paris.
ninny,
Oui, un cube!
Anne,
Surely, surely it's not sweet like we have here!!
Shell,
Surely the most divine glace et sorbet I've ever tasted.
Alexa, surely you've guessed my beverage of choice...chamapagne et vin! :)

Virginia, I'll have some of what you are having, my dear.
Yes, there is one ice cube in Paris but when there I really don't even think about it.
Maybe those are the flavors (tres exotique) of the sorbet. I would try.
Jean,
Well you might have a point. I'm thinking mojito sorbet might be délicieux!
Genie,
You know what I'm having.
Looks about right to me.
I think what's very clearly wrong with this picture is that there is not one single glass of red wine visible in it anywhere...
:-)
Drinking iced tea after walking around Paris just won't do it...
Owen,
Of couse you're so right. Iced tea is for Alabama, a nice verre de vin is for Paris.....unless someone offers champagne! :)
V
That photo just made me giggle and I needed the giggle!!!! It is so wrong on so many levels! LOL
You have a great blog!
I am envious of your living out your dream!
Happy Weekend to you!

Mojitos are very 'IN' in Europe at the moment.
Moi, je pense que l'on peut boire un Mojito ou un Ice tea à Paris! Pourquoi pas?
Claudine,
Trop américain pour moi! HA
On a hot day I would not quibble
On a hot day I would not quibble
I agree about ice tea but not mojitos!
