There are only a few days left of my Paris adventures, a week to be precise. I just feel like this whole thing is a whirlwind of experiences I can't begin to share with all of you like I want to! So here's what I'm going to do. This next week is going to be dedicated to things I will miss about being in Paris. I've shared enough about tips and travel, etc. I just want to share the things that make my time here unique to me. Keep in mind that these things are also in no particular order.
The bells of Notre Dame! I wish I could take that cathedral with me everywhere, and not just a pocket-sized one! I just want to be able to look out of my window and see it for the rest of my life. Does this mean I'm coming back to Paris to live? Who really knows? One thing is for sure, they might throw me out of the city for not liking wine. For real, I can't handle any of it.
The Seine. I just love this beautiful river. It's big and probably smells terrible (caution: don't get too close), but it's the most oddly romantic body of water I've ever been around. Even the ocean doesn't seem to have the same kind of mystique for me... Perhaps it's just because of the view I have of the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and the Sainte Chapelle. That probably helps.
Walking. It's funny, but you don't really get to walk around in the US like you do in Paris. If you're walking, you are walking in a park or on a side walk in a neighborhood. If you live in NYC, you might have the closest parallel with the kind of walking I'm talking about. I hope that I can find a place to live where walking is not only common but a wonderful way to experience the city. I just wish that I'd done more of it sooner - despite the unnaturally cold weather.
Stay tuned for more. Boy, I'm really missing Paris now just as much as I miss home. It's best for me to do this while I'm still here, though. I don't know what odd things I'll be experiencing on re-entry!
