Holding strong to the belief that it’s never too late to give a belated birthday gift, Jan is taking me (and Emily) to Paris for five days. I’m very excited – I’ve never been to Paris before! We fly out in 10 hours so I don’t think I’ll be blogging for the next five days or so.
I feel a bit strange because I can’t remember the last time I went on a trip and did so little to prepare. Whether it was Mexico, Holland, Italy, or Greece, I remember spending days (if not weeks) researching all the “must see” things at each destination and planning our itinerary in painful detail. But this time I’ve done nothing. Nothing! I’ve left it all up to Jan and I feel uneasily comfortable with the arrangement.
Here’s hoping it doesn’t rain all week, Emily adapts to her new crib in the apartment, the food isn’t as rediculously expensive as I’ve heard, and we find a small enough beret to stick on Emily’s head for a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower. Au revoir!
when i was in Paris with Keren we were on a major budget because of her recent travels in s.e. asia so we ate mostly bread cheese and a vegetable here and there. Pick up a bagette in the morning and some spreadble cheese and you’re set. rather than pay to go up to the top of the eiffel tower we ate lunch beneath it and how our views of the city from notre dame and sacre coeur.
I hope you have/had an AMAZING time!
