LOL - not knocking it, but having been to both places, I'd take Paris any day over Melbourne :)

I can just imagine you in Paris, fitting in so well as you wander around the streets.

What a lovely, vivid story. I can see it all in my minds eye. Well done. I look forward to reading The Straw too.

Thank you Helen, Paris is incredible like a living art gallery.

Going there chanelled my thinking, I wanted to see more experience more.

A lovely Intersection!

Paris didn’t just creep into my heart; instead it grabbed me by the throat, and dared me not to like it.

When we got to the Champs Elysees it looked like a lighted caterpillar leading to the Arc de Triumph.

I quite liked these lines. :)

Thanks but feel poetic lines may not help much with next challenge, freaking out again!!!

I love the last paragraph especially when your reverie just transports you right back to old Paree! Lovely dreams!

[jacq22]

Our dreams cost nothing do they? and Melbourne is a nice older city, not as old as Paris, but sort of shabby elegant.

I did get to see Paris -in 1990 I think -when my daughter was in the Air Force and stationed in Germany. I went to visit her and we took a bus tour to London and Paris. We saw a show at the Moulin Rouge! And I remember artists set up painting everywhere.
She has always wanted to visit Australia. I just saw an ad on TV promotong tourism in Sydney. Ah dreams,yes.
I am still hoping *we* can team up on a future intersection if we can stay alive in the game and Gary has another! :)

Good plan. Look forward to it. Yes There is so much here, its like having every country, from mountains and snow to desert and wild bush, with a whole lot of sand surrounding it. But then America has everything too, except Kangaroos, and Koalas, LOL.

Mmm, I loved the imagery here, just like in most of your entries. I've only been to Paris for a day, but I would love to return!

[jacq22]

Do it, and do it soon, grab life. As I know you do anyway.

I love Paris and this really took me back! And this totally didn't go where I expected it to - you make Melbourne sound lovely, too, and now I want to go there!
