Heck, I love Paris, period.
I was watching a House Hunters International tonight, and a woman from Australia was moving to Paris to start a new business. She was looking for an apartment at $2,400 a month, or less.
It was not easy.
But when they were looking, I saw a restaurant where I had a late supper, I think with Dan. I immediately thought of what I liked about Paris.
No, not the pick pockets the dog poop, the thieves......but I love the city.
I can't explain why. Maybe it's the architecture. Or the food. Or the desserts. Or the parks.
When I see a picture of the Eiffel Tower, or the Seine, or Notre Dame, I wish I was there.
I always enjoy getting a sandwich and going to Luxembourg Gardens. Often there is an art display on the gates, usually photographs. They are always thought provoking.
Jackie is not such a big fan. She doesn't like the noise, the crowds, the fear of pick pockets, or the dog poop.
And there is a lot of dog poop. People don't clean up as well as they should.
But it is a beautiful city, full of wonders and excitement.
The woman ended up renting a place for $2,200. Fourth floor, walk up, with a toilet room in the kitchen.....but a view of the tower and the city from her rooftop.
I just wish I could see Paris again.
