Lord this is such a wonderful city! The beauty of the buildings, the whimsy, the elegance. I'm stunned by Paris. There are so many surprises. The language is soft and flowing; spoken French is poetry, the nuances, the sinuous softness of phrases. Many of the faces on the street are quite beautiful and refined. We're on day 3 of 7 days in Paris, staying in a small hotel next to the Sorbonne, v. near Notre Dame, it's a rainy morning, we're just starting to dial it in (in each big city it takes a while to get your center). After the one bad meal so far of the trip, we've had 2 wonderful dinners at cool little restaurants, with nary the sound of the English language.
I'll be posting some photos in the next few days.

Have a little spare time? At a walking distance of Notre Dame de Paris, visit LA SAINTE CHAPELLE :my favorite construction of the medieval period...a stone squeleton full of stain glass that changes according to the outside light. Smaller that those large cathedral, arc en boutant, gargouilles, etc(sorry don't know the anglish translation
