Paris thoughts, day 1

Photobucket
(taken on my flight to Paris)

today is my first day here. I'm tired but I'm happy.

I'm sitting outside at a cafe using their wifi, and everyone around me is speaking french. I understand enough to catch snippets and understand signs, not to mention that everyone seems to speak english.

I have to admit, I feel the buzz. I feel the Paris appeal. I wonder if one of the reasons why Americans love it here is the fact that you aren't bombarded with communication of all sorts (whether it be ads, or just overhearing people around you), and instead are surrounded by the smooth sounds of French. it's a break for us, a mental rest.

I'm going to try to post every day or so! :)

    This feeling like you can just be by yourself even surrounded by others is an amazing one. I've been living it for 2,5 years now... =)

    This picture is a dream: it's pure joy and a realization that anything is possible. <3

    I'm glad you enjoy Paris! Personally, I feel too surrounded and I can't find any kind of rest when I go there ^^ but maybe it's because I'm french and I often go in Paris...
    But there is pretty places over there. Anyway, I hope everything will be just fine for you.

    And this picture is beautiful :)

    Glad that you made it safe and sound. Paris certainly does have that special something. I do hope you can spend a day or two at the Louvre. It's absolutely an amazing experience to be surrounded by all the art.

    Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip, and great airplane shot! <3

    really lovely picture. which i was surprised i like, because normally planes scare me too much to ever look appealing.
    the sky, however, is one of my true loves, so i think that makes up for it. ;)

    paris sounds lovely too. i'd love to go someday. :)
