Paris!


We just booked the first leg of our European get-a-way this summer and I am bursting at the seams with excitement: we're starting out with several days in Paris! I've never been and after months of saving and planning, I'm feeling a little flabbergasted that it's actually happening. More details to come...

(Versailles in the summer)

I realize this adorable "Live the Language" promotional video has been popping up all over the internet the past few days, but I had to share it here, too. My french is limited to bonjour and macaron: I'd say it's about high time to get "living..."



 Ahh! (I could cry, I'm so happy and grateful right now).

    I haven't seen that video before, and OH my goodness. C'est tres jolie!!! (And that's about the extent of my French.) I'm so excited for you and I've got a great mapbook to recommend and this: http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/9474 is the place where we stayed.

    Yay!!! Just thinking about the baguettes is making me crazy right now. See you tomorrow!

    That is so amazing! I've been to Paris once and I fell in love with the city. It was the first place I found myself thinking "I could live here". I can't wait to go back! AND .. I can't wait to hear more about your plans!

    Congrats on the Paris plans! I've been wanting to go for so long, but haven't had a chance yet. I need to start planning that myself. Maybe the world will help me and work some magic.
