This will probably be my last post. We’re going home on Monday which leaves us just a few more days of Paris.
I’ll miss the Paris cafés.
I won’t miss the itty-bitty coffees.
I’ll miss hearing the French language.
I won’t miss speaking the French language.
I’ll miss the delicious Parisian croissants and baguettes.
I won’t miss French cheese.
I’ll miss the [...]

November in a flash
Posted in Uncategorized on November 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
November has been as busy as we imagined and it’s not over yet!
We had a great visit with Linda several weeks ago. I think we managed to balance showing her some of the sights and letting Sonja and her Nonna have plenty of playing time too. We really lucked out with the weather which [...]
La visite d’une vie

We’ve been in Paris a little over a month, and have exactly one month left before coming back home. It’s been several weeks since I’ve done any blogging. (I’m glad Rachel’s been picking up the slack.) When we first got here, I was eager to set up a blog and keep a diary of all [...]
O-BA-MA!!!!!

What a week! I haven’t felt any homesickness since we have been here, but election day and the day after I was wishing we were home to share the suspense and joy with everyone. It’s likely that our absentee ballots were never counted in the presidential election since it wasn’t a close race in Massachusetts, [...]

Above is a map of Paris showing the arrondissements (districts). We have recently formed the goal to visit all of them before the end of our trip.
Already Visited: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 14, 18, 19
To Visit: 2, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 20
So we are half-way there, and less [...]
My baby is my copilot

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 [...]
Parc de Villette and the Harvest Festival

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 [...]
