First meal in Charles de Gaulle airport |
My stash of Clif bars and chamomile/lavender tea |
Advertising Les Miserables in Paris! (Wait a minute...) |
Studio apartment |
Opposite view |
Shakespeare and Company English bookstore |
Gu! My favorite London desserts rediscovered |
Highlights:
- Navigating without incident from my home to the teensy apartment in the 2nd arrondisement
- Being continuously regarded with polite, mild surprise at the revelation that I ... wait for it ... don't speak French
- Ensconcing myself upstairs in the library level of Shakespeare and Company and reading a first edition 1932 British mystery while listening to another customer play the piano
- Watching the lights flicker on the Seine at night
- Rediscovering my favorite dessert from London--the decadent Gu cheesecakes and puddings
