My First Day in France

paris postmark

My very first glimpse of Paris

It took a long time for me to make it to Paris

Today I realized my long-term goal of visiting France.  I actually struggled through 5 years of French between high school and college with the dream of coming to this culinary utopia and experiencing their joie de vie. But, that was many years ago…I got distracted, things happened and France did not.

22 years is a very long time to pine for a dream.  It can be so disappointing when you long for something long-term and the reality of accomplishing it is less than your expectations.  It almost seems you would be better off unfulfilled instead of disappointed.

But I have wonderful news…Paris has not disappointed me at all yet.  The food is spectacular, the people ARE friendly, and walking the streets and entering buildings that are so much older than the new world I live in is incredibly humbling and beautiful.

Fresh scallops at le PoissonerieI will share more soon, but to be honest, I have terrible jet lag and need a good night’s rest for La Louvre tomorrow. (It is the free day!)

 

Au Revoir!


 

I was even lucky enough to make some new friends in Paris!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fresh markets are amazing here!
