PARIS PARIS PARIS I LOVE YOU, PARIS!!!




I LOVED PARIS!!! After spending one week in Paris I am now just writing you about it....Let me tell ya, I adored Paris. I loved the people, the food, the museums, the boutiques, the churches, the brasseries, the coffee.


Bree, John and I had a ball. We rented a 1 bedroom apartment on Rue St. Anne which was perfect. Very clean and only a few blocks to the Louvre. We all got along great...Plenty of laughs and 2 hour cafe au lait pit stops at outdoor brasseries. John and Bree were my tour guides. Those two navigated the city like old pros and I just followed behind them trying not to get hit by a car or motor bike.


We went to the Louve, the Musee d'Orsay, Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Sacre Couer, took a train to Versailles and toured the palace and gardens, Luxembourg Gardens, Salvatore Dali museum, Cluny museum. We walked and walked and walked. Thank God we walked because if it wouldn't have been for the walking I never would have been able to zip up my pants by the end of the week.


I ate croissants that were so fresh they melted in my mouth, drank endless cups of cafe au lait (each cup better than the cup before) and even drank a little wine. Wine was better in France!


What a wonderful, fantastic experience this was for me. I loved seeing Paris for the first time with my daughter and John beside me. I really did not want to come home. I connected with this city and truly loved everything. I will be back someday.


So my darlings, I will be better with my writing. Please keep reading! Here are some pics from Paris!!! Love, Kelli
