AHH...PARIS

The very first time I went to Paris was in 2007. When I got off the plane I was so sick, all I wanted to do was go to bed. On the ride from the airport to the hotel it was pouring down rain. Sitting with my partner Yahen as we rode down the highways he immediately started telling me where we were, what everything was, and where we were going. The closer to the city we got the less I thought about how really bad I felt. After checking into our hotel we went to the Louvre to have a bite at Café Marly any one who has eaten there knows what a really cool experience it is all the skinny waiters NOT servers in there little grey pencil suits rushing around seeming to never stop .They are a show in themselves . Who knows if the food was good (it probably was)  and who cares WE were in Paris for heaven sake. No time to be sick …we walked to the Eiffel tower and it was twinkling it was the most fantastic thing I had ever seen. It was still raining when we got back to the hotel but it didn’t matter we were in Paris. Nothing matters when one is in Paris .In 2009 we went back for a month and rented a tiny flat near the Moulin Rouge. It was great to wake up in Paris, walk to the corner for a few croissants and look to the left and there the top of the tower rises over a beautiful row house, what a way to start the day. Some days we would walk  15 miles and some days we would sit in the Luxemburg gardens and do nothing at all…..
