Last mango in Paris...again



Well, we're at the end of another trip. The video says a lot, but here are a few more of my final thoughts on Paris:

Things I Will Miss
-bread
-pastry shops on every corner
-the beautiful architecture
-the "life is to be enjoyed" attitude
-the bed in our apartment
-knowing that wonderful museums are just around the corner
-chocolate
-bread
-gaufres (see the photo)
-short skirts (that's Tim's contribution to the list)

Things I Will Not Miss
-the smell of pee in the subway
-the formality in everything
-dinner isn't served until 7 p.m. or after
-it's damn cold here
-everyone smokes here
-Clip Clop (a named we've given one of our neighbors who clods up and down the stairs in high-heeled shoes obnoxiously early and impossibly late)
-kamikaze pidgeons

Signing off from Paris--see you soon!

    I'm sorry you're at the end of your trip, but I'm selfishly glad you're finally coming back. Miss you! Have a safe flight home :)

  2. -the smell of pee in the subway

    Wimp. We've got poopy subways here in NYC!

  3. Those gaufres look suspiciously like my family's waffle cookies (AKA French cookies)...dipped in chocolate of course.
