I'm not sure how often or if I'll be able to post but I'm going to try. The photos, I think, will have to wait!My only sadness is leaving Rick behind, but the Gypsy will be in good hands!
I'm staying with my college friend, Jerry. Tomorrow I'll have a map that shows where we are. As for an itinerary, we're playing it pretty loose -- the two scheduled events are meeting with Tara (Paris Parfait) on Saturday to visit Vanves flea market and for dinner -- I'm very excited about that!
And, on Sunday, we'll do a road trip to Normandy and the beaches. Seeing this during the month of D-Day's 65th anniversary is truly something I've looked forward to for a very long while.
Musee d'Orsay and the impressionists (and a trip to Monet's Giverny -- see Linda's great post on Monet here at The Task at Hand) are two must-do's as are the Eifel Tower and Notre Dame.
Other than that, I'm just ready to discover whatever happens to be in my path -- a gallery at the Louvre? Parks and gardens? Shakespeare and Company (a long-awaited dream, as well, and one Oh said was a must!). Montmartre or the Latin Quarter? Lots of cafes for sure!
I have my ugly shoes, fun things to take to Jerry and Tara (leaving room for the home-trip!), a travel journal, my camera and I'm good to go!
Check back in a few days -- hopefully I'll have something new up!
Have a wonderful vacation! (And we'll be looking forward to pictures, whenever you're ready to post them.)

ReplyDeleteI figured you were leaving in the day time and that I was too late to say goodbye and have fun! I'm so happy for you that you get to do this. It should be a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous trip- can't wait to hear (and see) the details.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip!!! I'm gonna get some ugly shoes, too, so I can walk all over Paris one day.

Have a wonderful journey! Can't wait to see all your photos. Visit the Rothschilds for me while your there. I'm feeling a little lost without them.
ReplyDeleteWell well, I see I have some catching up to do. Happily, it will be in Paris!
