Paris

The Eiffel Tower, the dreamer and me.

In Paris on 11 April 2008 with no comments

The couples made it more beautiful. 

I know its a cliche, but lest we forget, I am a girl and I do have a great big heart.  Seeing these two couples standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, one young, one older about twenty feet apart from one another standing  on the great big lawn/garden. They […]

Notre Dame

In Paris on 10 April 2008 with no comments

I don’t want to lose track of my days…
I think its easier with the time spent talking verbally about how things go and how life seems and the nature of things (because Paris breeds that or I breed that or a mixture of the two).

Being alone its so much easier to tell your verbal story […]

Last night, being the daring traveller that I am, I decided to try steak tartare. I think that because of the name, I expected raw steak, raw steak which seemed not so bad in the scheme of things, when considering how much I eat steak rare to the point that its only […]

Apartment Living

In Paris on 9 April 2008 with no comments

Monday was uneventful. I decided not to wear myself down with traipsing all around the city. Bk was coming Tuesday and I didn’t want to feel rundown and tired by the time he arrived. I did check out and fall in love with the beautiful apartment in Le Marais. On a street lined with galleries and cute […]

Sunday Night, Paris Snow.

In Paris on 9 April 2008 with no comments

Sunday Night found me at dinner at a wonderful restaurant in Le Marais with the Cali Boys. A girl from the hostel, Brianna tagged along as well. 

The best french onion soup I’ve ever tasted (a bit on the salty side but I like that sort of thing).  Chicken Supreme–cooked in riesling with fabulous oniony chivey mashed potatoes. […]

Missing Post and Photos

In Paris on 8 April 2008 with no comments

Just for the record, I’m not slacking on the posting. (or only posting photographs of guys from California).
At Oops Hostel the internet is free but the connection is slow and gives out (they only allow you to use it in 30-60 min and it gives no warning when they sign you out) so I end […]

The Parisian Afternoon

In Paris on 6 April 2008 with 1 comment

This afternoon was very nice and relaxing. All of my plans usually are in flux for most of the day so I never made it to the Museum. I started walking north from my hostel and ended up at Rue de Muffetard (sp?) where there is an outdoor market quite by accident. It was one […]

A Few Random and Un-ordered Notes

In Paris on 6 April 2008 with no comments

Blogging after a bottle wine, a beer and a cocktail is a lot like emailing after a bottle of wine, a beer and a cocktail. Except of course that everyone can see it. You wake up the next morning and think…wait…did I just say that. Why yes, M, yes you did.
Cool design hostels attract […]

Last Night-Today

In Paris on 5 April 2008 with no comments

*Edit
This morning.I woke up.I looked around.Room full of guys still.And remembered I had no Credit Card….still….right.Sucktastic.
Majority of my day (11:30am-4:30pm) was spent on the phone with the bank trying to get an emergency bank card or cash. Finally they sent me cash and I had to literally dash to the Western Union to get […]

The (self proclaimed) Best Falafel in the World

In Paris on 5 April 2008 with no comments

That was my sole objective for the day. I read about Chez Hanna on Voice of the City, a blog written by people from Paris for people visiting Paris. A sort of personalized Not for Tourist guide.

This falafel marks the moment when my day turned around.
