I spent the entire day eating again. JC's parents took us to a very very fancy restaurant on the coast. I have never had food this way before. The most interesting combinations of tastes. The wife of the chef and part owner is the wine connoisseur, who comes to your table and looks at what everyone has ordered and then picks out the best wine for ( Read more... )

Today we went to the beach. I felt as though I was in New England. The coast was amazing and we climbed over rocks for hours. I put my only feet in the Atlantic because it was way to cold to jump in. The seaweed over here is so hefty and stringy just a little slippery. Melanie, JC's cousin came with us, she is a wonderful person who I am pleased to ( Read more... )

Today I went to Jean-Christophe's Grandma house for lunch with her and his Aunt. It was the most incredible lunch experience that lasted 6 hours. And yes we were eating and drinking the entire time. It started of with champangne and cookies. Then a nice bottle of white wine from the region and oysters, some kind of snails, and little lobsters. They ( Read more... )

Paris is the second most beautiful city and it would have been first if the pollution hadn't given me a head ache every hour. There are more cars there than in New York I think, and there metro system even covers more area ( Read more... )

I have seen almost all of Paris in two days. It has been incredible. This place is magical and I if I could, I would stay. The people here are wonderful the food is wonderful and the clothes are superb. The city and the Eiffel Tower glitters at night. There is ice cream at every corner as well as a flowered filled garden to sit in and enjoy the ice ( Read more... )

I just woke up this morning to hear that a horrible accident happened at the Charles DeGaulle Airport. A walkway collapsed in the terminal the morning I arrived. I got in in the evening and had no idea, there was no sign of a tragedy at all. I am ok and in Paris with Jen in case anyone was concerned. 4 people died and a few are still missing. What ( Read more... )

I am having a difficult time typing because this key board is all mixed up; the q is where the a should be and the m is where the I ' should be which is on the ( Read more... )

After yoga class yesterday I was speaking to one of Karen's friends. He was telling me about this old man he had seen that day riding his bike up the hills and how impressed he was by him (being so old and all). I said to him wow it must be nice to be that old and be so spunky (meaning energetic) He looked at me with the most disturbed look, and ( Read more... )

I am still jet-lagged but it works out ok because it does not get dark here until 10pm. So I go to bed at 4am and wake up at 12pm and still get 10 hours of sunshine and random 10 minute rains. I went to an art opening at the Art College last night. It was video and performance art. I was asked to wear a bag on my head for I don't know what reason ( Read more... )
