Kiss me, Im French!!

Today I decided that I love Paris. To be honest, I wasn't so sure about it at first. I think not being able to get through the metro turn-gate thing started me off on the wrong foot. Then I got frostbite all over town and spent five dollars on tea... The people at tourist attractions give attitude to English speakers, like they didn't expect to have to deal with us when they signed up for their jobs... But I am converted and happy to report that I LOVE IT HERE!!!!! Everything drips with beauty and celebration. I realized that Paris is composed of all things that celebrate France. What a positive place to be!!!
I have some great pictures to share but nowhere to upload them, so we'll have to wait. Tomorrow we go to Chopin's grave and to the catacombs. Then its a night train to Florence.
Please excuse all the misspelled words.. I have no spell check and I'm either on a whacked out keyboard or my iPod touch. And if I listed all of you that I miss, it would take longer than it did to write this blog. So I'll just say that I miss you all, most of all chicken noodle soup that I so desperately need to get over this cold and the overly rich cheese and mushroom crepe I ate for lunch.
See you in Florence!!!!

I'm so jealous you're going to Italy.. I've never been and just live vicariously through y'all who have been (or will have been - future past perfect, it's an excellent tense).

Did you see any of the mini Statues of Liberty in Paris? What about Le Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, or Musee Rodin? Notre Dame?

So happy you are loving it! Have a fun train ride and enjoy every bit of Italy - hopefully you'll get a little warmer weather :)
