Savor your first deeply-felt "mmm" food moment in Paris.
Buy something to wear (even a scarf, belt or hat) that magically transforms them into the most glorious creature ever to walk the Earth in Paris.
Find a thousands reasons to visit again and again.....

I can't help but wonder what willow is doing right now.

It's exciting to try to imagine her whereabouts this very minute.

As for the "granny" issue, none of us really meet that description, even those of us who are a lot older (including myself). However, it's only natural for us to feel a bit overprotective of our young forumist despite the fact that she seems very independent and extremely capable. Hey..........should we have given her a curfew? ;D

Just wanted to drop and say I arrived!!!!
It's rainy but it's Paris!!
I was practically skipping with joy despite the fact I got no sleep due to excitement.

I am off to explore the neighborhood, but I just wanted to make sure everyone knew all is well!

Oh! a first time in Paris..... well according to Le Monde weather forecast tomorrow should be
Averses isolées, éclaircies tardives et chaud (20 Celsisus) and after that Ensoleillé et chaleur agréable. So it looks like our little one will have fair weather soon.

Avec des si on mettrait Paris en bouteille !

I agree...it sounds so great..exploring your Paris Neighborhood in the rain!!

It has been raining here for a few days and I love my neighborhood...but..not quite the same feeling!

I hope the sun shines for some of your trip but also that you see a rainbow!!!
