I think Sonja must have some kind of playground 6th sense. I attempted to take her to the Opera House yesterday, but she flipped out every time I tried to take the map from her. So like any mother who doesn’t feel like causing a scene on the Metro, I let her have it. She [...]

Live from Fontainebleau
Posted in Uncategorized on October 19, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I was relaxing in the lounge of a hotel in Ury, a tiny town outside of Fontainbleau. I say “was” because an entire bus load, or possibly more than one bus, of Japanese tourists just poured into the lobby. I’m typing on the iPhone so I’ll keep this short. Heading out tomorrow [...]
Internet Joy

I was starting to write a post that went: “I mentioned on my facebook status that we were looking for a babysitter on craigslist.” And then I remembered a much more interesting thing I have been thinking about – how dependent we are on the internet. If we had taken this trip 10 years ago, [...]

I’m going to use outline format for this blog post.
• Parisians really do love little dogs, and carry them around in handbags or rolling shopping carts.
• Parisians really do carry baguettes under their arms. They buy them like they’re going out of style from the bakeries which are on every block.
• “Fais attention à la [...]

Thank you to everyone who is reading & commenting on our blog! It’s nice to hear from you!
Though I doubt Sonja would care if we only went to the 4 or 5 parks in our immediate neighborhood, for my own enjoyment I plan to take her a bit farther afield. With this in mind on [...]

Sonja has done it: She got over baby jet-lag! This will no doubt sound rather unimpressive. A week ago I would have thought, “big deal.” It is now her second night in a row of going to sleep with out a marathon freak out session lasting into the wee hours of the morning, so we [...]
Fashion Conscious

Being in Paris is making us feel very unfashionable. It’s no secret that the French like to look sharp. It has me wanting to go clothes shopping and Rachel wanting to get a new hair style. I at least need to get an awesome new jacket.
We’d probably feel like this in any major city, but [...]
Little opta, potty training français, and the goatgurt

We’re so used to those big American suburban stores that sell everything (eg. Target, CVS, supermarkets, etc.) So it’s challenging having to visit a different shop for each item that we need to buy. It’s fun trying to figure out which store we need using my very limited knowledge of French. It involves a lot [...]
L’appartement, etc.

We’ve decided to keep a blog after all. I think we’re going to share one blog between me and Rachel. Sonja might start her own blog if she has any free time.
Once again we laid over at Keflavík International Airport. I highly recommend Icelandair as the greatest way to get from Boston to France if [...]
