My days in Paris…

Jan 25th, 2010

Friends,

I find myself in a little cafe in the 10th district of Paris, France. Drinking a cafe creme and wondering if F. Scott Fitzgerald or Ernest Hemingway sat on this corner, watching the Parisians make their way down this cobbled street.

The architecture is a marvel, and it rivals any sight I have seen on my travels throughout Europe in the past. Their buildings, and gardens, and doorways are the stuff of artisans and masterings of form.

I am content to simply be it’s witness – for I am enriched by doing so.

In a few days I am off to Dublin, where familiar faces await.

Alive in Paris…

Jan 17th, 2010

Dear friends,

I am alive and well in Paris. I have had too much cheese and bread, and ingested far too much wine this evening, but it has all made memories I shall never forget.

Life is what you make it.

Tomorrow I shall explore the Musee Rodin…

I am enchanted…
