Favorite Things

The trip in winding down and my thoughts turn to what I will miss the most. So here are a few pixs of some of the things that i will truly miss about Paris. Gleato (ice cream) Rose, the amazing Paris skyline, the Paris Metro, the intricate door handles, french pastries, tiny cars, and the shopping.  Some of the things that I noticed that were different from my previous trips to Paris are: there are more Japanese sushi restaurants, the eating establishments have these cool handheld credit card machines to ring up your bill, they have shuttles now that get you to Claude Monet's house in Giverney, the European Union flags fly next to the French Flag, and the Eiffel Tower is so much more Hip!

Dear Lara,

Hilary told me the great news - congrats on your engagement!!! She also sent a link to your blog, which is how I found out that you'd gotten engaged in Paris (romantic with the heart-shaped leaves!)... and that you'd arrived in Paris a few hours after I'd left!

Sandra (my Dad's sister) and I took an extra-long weekend, first in Paris, then in Giverny, and saw many of the same things as you have named/photographed in your blog. We flew out on the afternoon of July 3rd - and left some fantastic weather behind, which I am sure you two enjoyed to the fullest.

I hope all is well, and have fun wedding-planning!

Hugs,
Suzanne (Ledgeway / Denmark)
