Woke-up to another rainy, overcast day -- what a difference from Colorado weather! Got a slow start getting out, but eventually made it to the market -- was quite a ways away and took three Metro trains to get there -- wanted to try someplace different.... Read more >

Got a late start this morning -- up until after 2:00am Skyping with people back in the States -- that eight hour time difference can really put a dent in keeping in touch. Drizzled most of the day today which set the stage perfectly for my primary ... Read more >

On my itinerary for today was to visit a new farmers market -- yesterday's "bombed-out" and am running short on healthy food (although surviving for a while on croissants, pastries and chocolates has crossed my mind!) Got there only to once again ... Read more >

Today was a pleasant day here in Paris -- warm, white, sunny skies and a gentle breeze blowing -- of course a lot of what it was blowing around was pollen and some kind of white, fuzzy seeds -- Spring is here (better late than never!)

Today, so far, has been a "nothing" day -- routine, normal, boring -- and that's okay! Got up this morning, walked over to the neighborhood farmers'/flea market (Marche d'Aligre), stopped on the way for a croissant and coffee, watched people ... Read more >

Another beautiful day -- not quite as nice as yesterday -- white-ish skies instead of deep blue -- but sunny and warm -- almost too warm -- went out today wearing a shirt and a light windbreaker -- had to take the jacket off within twety minutes -- roasting ... Read more >

Beautiful day here today-- warm, sunny, deep blue sky with white puffy clouds -- just the way it should be!
