PARIS THE TEMPTRESS
EVERYONE LOVES APRIL IN PARIS,EVEN WET PUPPIES.
WHO WOULDN'T LOVE ANY JOB YOU CAN FIND IF YOU GET TO LIVE IN THE CITY OF LIGHT? THIS INVENTIVE DOG WALKER MAKES A GOOD LIVING IN THE CITY THAT WORSHIPS IT'S CANINE RESIDENTS, EVEN IF HE HAS TO CYCLE IN THE RAINY DRIZZLE.
"HUG CLOSE TO ME BOYS, THIS DRIZZLE IS GOOD FOR ME,BUT KEEPS DOUSING MY CIGARETTE AND SINCE I AM TRYING TO QUIT SMOKING, WE ALL CAN BREATHE EASIER FOR A WHILE".
IF YOU BEHAVE,YOU CAN TAKE TURNS GETTING IN THE COVERED WAGON.
WHILE WE DRIVE AND STROLL AROUND THE BEAUTIFUL CITY, MANY IMAGES AND COLORS REFLECT THE PRIDE OF PLACE RESIDENTS HAVE FOR THEIR HOME AND COUNTRY.
DON'T HESITATE TO VISIT PARIS IN THE EARLY SPRING WHEN IT IS COOLER AND MAY BE A BIT RAINY. WE FOUND THE STREETS NEARLY DESERTED ON THIS EARLY AFTERNOON,AND SO EASY TO NAVIGATE AROUND TOWN. YES IT IS PARIS, THIS IS JUST A ROMA PIZZARIA SIGN AT A LOCAL CAFE'. WE WENT FOR THE FRENCH FOOD AND SAVED ITALIAN FOOD FOR OUR ITALY AND SICILY TRIPS.
WE ENJOY THE COOL SWEATER WEATHER, NO TRAFFIC ON THE RIVER,PATH OR ROAD. THIS IS A HAPPY ACCIDENT WALK TO EVERYTHING WITH EASE ,FROM THE MAIN PART OF TOWN IN THIS DRIZZLE.
WHETHER YOU ARE A FIRST TIME VISITOR OR A SEASONED TRAVELER TO THIS MAGICAL DESTINATION, YOU ARE THRILLED WITH THE PURELY PARISIENNE IMAGES ALL AROUND YOU. NO PLACE ELSE ON EARTH LOOKS LIKE PARIS ,WITH A SINGULAR BEAUTY AND STYLE OF ELEGANCE, DIGNITY AND POMP.
LILACS AND FRESH SCENTED GREEN NEWLY EMERGING FROM WINTER, FILL THE SOUL WITH EASE AND PEACEFUL REFRESHMENT AS YOU STROLL ALONG THE SEINE OR THE STREETS, WHICH ARE VERY CLOSE TO EMPTY AT THIS TIME OF EARLIEST SPRING.
WE HAVE BOOKED A LUNCH CRUISE ALONG THE SEINE ON A CANAL BOAT WITH A FAIR REPUTATION. IT TURNED OUT TO BE SUPERBLY LUXURIOUS AND DELICIOUS. THREE TYPES OF WINE WERE SERVED, FIVE COURSES ( THIS ONE A STARTER OF CHEESE AND FRISSE' SALAD WITH WARM AND RICH WHEATY ROLLS). AS WE GLIDE ALONG ,WE SPY SO MANY GORGEOUS SIGHTS THROUGH THE GLASS ROOF OF THE BOAT, AND LISTEN TO THE LIGHTLY PLAYING ACCORDION DUET. NORTE DAME CATHEDRAL, GILDED BUILDINGS MANY MANY STATUES AND A SMALL STATUE OF LIBERTY HAIL TO US , LONG WITH YOUNG LOVERS WAVING THEIR EXUBERANT GREETING TO SAY "WE ARE HAPPY HERE TOO".
WHILE CRUISING LANGUIDLY DOWN THE SEINE ,WHERE TO LOOK FIRST IS OUR ONLY PROBLEM. WE HONOR THE OTHER LIBERTY LADY AND ALSO THE VISIONARY ARTIST WHO CREATED THEM BOTH, WITH A CHAMPAGNE TOAST AND A BITE OF THE BEST ROASTED CHICKEN AND WHIPPED POTATOES WE HAVE EVER TASTED.
IF IT'S NOT ONE FABULOUS THING,IT'S ANOTHER.
STILL GLIDING IN THE CANAL BOAT, A VIEW TO DREAM OF AGAIN AND AGAIN.
A WEEK AFTER EASTER NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL IS STILL PULSING AS ALWAYS WITH REVERENCE AND STRENGTH. AS IT PEEKS INTO THE CANAL BOAT, WE HEAR SOFTLY SINGING FRENCH NUNS IN THE DISTANCE.
AN ANCIENT GILDED GUARD GUIDES US THROUGH THE COILING WATER.
THE COLORS OF PARIS ARE MOSTLY SOFT TANS, GREENS,BLACKS AND GOLDS WITH PUNCTUATION OF DEEP FRENCH FLAG BLUE AND A PEEK OF RED UMBRELLAS. THE SEINE IS LANGUID AND GENTLE MOST DAYS AS YOU INCH ALONG VIEWING THE BEAUTY AND EATING THE BEAUTIFUL FOOD.
PARIS IS NOT PARIS WITHOUT WROUGHT IRON BALCONIES AND THE APTLY NAMED FRENCH DOOR.
AT THIS CORNER WE DRIFT UNDER A RIOT OF SPRING GREEN COLOR AND THE STRENGTH OF THIS HUNDREDS YEARS OLD MAJESTY.
THE BEAUTY OF SAILING THROUGH PARIS ON A CANAL BOAT IS THE ABILITY TO SEE SCULPTURE, ARCHITECTURE AND PEOPLE FROM ALL ANGLES, EASIER AND DIFFERENT THAN CITIES WITH NO WATER ACCESS FOR SIGHTSEEING.
WE COULD BE VERY HAPPY LIVING UP THERE IN THAT LITTLE PLACE, COULDN'T YOU? WE WILL SIP BIG FRENCH BOWLS OF CAFE'AU LAIT AND WATCH THE TOURISTS DRIFT ALONG HAPPY AND SATISFIED,KNOWING WE CAN WALK FOR A MINUTE IN ANY DIRECTION AND FILL UP ON CULTURE AND PASSION FOR LIFE.
BACK ON LAND, WE STROLL ALONG WITH THIS OTHER COUPLE TO SEE IF THEY MIGHT BE RESIDENTS WITH A STUNNING HOME IN TOWN OR SECOND HONEYMOONERS LIKE US ENJOYING EACH OTHER. THIS DAY IS TOO GOOD FOR MORTALS AS THE FOOT AND MOTOR TRAFFIC IS STILL NEARLY NONEXISTANT.
EVEN THOUGH IT CAN TAKE MONTHS TO SEE ALL THE LOUVRE MUSEUM HAS TO OFFER, DASH INSIDE FOR AN HOUR OR TWO AND VISIT SOME OF THE MOST TREASURED ART IN THE WORLD, OR CATCH A BITE AT THE MUSEUM RESTAURANT. THE MIX OF THIS MODERN GLASS PYRAMID IS WELCOME RELIEF TO THE EYE AFTER VIEWING MILES OF GILDED EVERYTHING!
IT IS TRULY ASTOUNDING HOW MANY ICONIC SIGHTS ARE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF EACH OTHER IN PARIS. TAKE YOUR TIME AND STROLL FROM LANDMARK TO LANDMARK, ENJOYING THIS BEAUTIFULLY PLANNED CITY.
IT WOULDN'T BE PARIS WITHOUT IT.
OUTLAWED NOW, THE LOCKS WERE ABOUT TO MAKE THE BRIDGE COLLAPSE.
THE RAIN DID NOT KEEP US FROM ENJOYING THE SIMPLE PLEASURES OF
SHOPPING FOR A SMALL PIECE OF ART ON THE STREET. PLACED INTO A PLASTIC SLEEVE,EACH PAINTING WAS DRY AND ORIGINAL. SO ARE WE.
WALKING PAST THOMAS JEFFERSON,THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT AND VISIONARY WHO ADORED PARIS, WE FEEL HONORED BY THE PRESENCE OF ALL THE OTHERS LIKE US WHO HAVE FOUND THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY A WORTHY WAY TO ENJOY LIFE ,AND A STIMULATING EXPERIENCE TO NEVER FORGET.
THE SMALLEST DETAIL SCREAMS PARIS TO US,POSTERS ON THE IRON POSTS,STONE STREETS GLISTENING WITH DRIZZLE, PLANE TREES TUCKED INTO CURB EDGES, THE PRETTY RAILINGS OF A CARVED STONE MANSION. THEY ALL REMIND YOU THIS TOWN IS A GIFT.
THE YOUNG LOVERS WHO JUST MOMENTS BEFORE MAY HAVE TRIED TO LOCK THEIR LOVE IN PLACE ON THE BRIDGE OF LOVE LOCKS,WAVE US ADIEU AND VOW TO NOT ONLY LOVE FOR LIFE,BUT NEVER ATTACH A LOCK AGAIN TO A BRIDGE , FOR FEAR IT WILL COLLAPSE THE ORNATE TREASURE. AU REVOIR!! DOUBLE KISS
