Well those photos don't match up, but you get the idea. I've been away in the City of Love (supposedly.) I can't say I paid attention to how much love anyone else was getting, and I'll keep the details of my own holiday to myself, but that's just not how I'd describe Paris, France. City of History, possibly, or City of Museums and Monuments, or maybe City of the Most Beautiful Church on a Small Hill that You'll Ever See. And of course City of Inspiration.
The first time I visited Paris I arrived dragging a large backpack with a small Canadian flag patch sewn on it. This time I was less of a cliche, and more mature. Honestly.

But I still wouldn't mind forgetting about home, my job, and everything else and finding a tiny apartment somewhere in the shadow of le Sacre Coeur, setting up with a typewriter (or let's face it: I'd still need my laptop) and writing my little Bohemian heart out.
Paris has that sort of effect, doesn't it? I think city of inspiration is much better than city of love. Great photos. :)
ReplyDeleteThe top photos disconnect in a neat sort of way, though. Happy writing!

ReplyDeleteOk, well not "just happened." We got it in a prize at Disneyland and have been carting it around ever since just in case there's a great photo op. It's what we do.
ReplyDelete"City of the Most Beautiful Church on a Small Hill that You'll Ever See"
ReplyDeleteFunny... just read this today:
"I will write something of Paris now. The seine is always present. You are either going under it, over it, or beside it. One always sees the Eiffel Tower or the Basilica Sacre Coeur. One is just immense (tower) and the other is high on a hill. The latter is the most beautiful structure in Paris I think." - bp Nichol from "Andy"
