Bonsoir, Paris

Just arrived in Paris and am so happy to be with family. My uncle met me at the bus stop, took the Air France bus from the airport right into the city and a couple blocks away from the apartment. The building had this amazing intricate heavy iron door, the lobby, which was just the stairway up and an elevator, was all dark wood and all these moldings. So French! I love it! The apartment is just what I imagine a French apartment to look like. I was expecting something small since it's in a pretty central location but it's spacious. Creaky wooden floors, great ceiling moldings.

I flew this airline today called Air Comet. At first I thought it was some make believe airline and Orbitz had swindled me but it's real! The flight attendants wore the cutest uniforms I have ever seen, a fitted shift with elbow length sleeves made out of this pretty dark teal and gold brocade. No neckerchiefs which I hate the airline industry for.

I am looking forward to stuffing my face with baguettes and window shopping.

While traveling to places in the off season is a good way to save some money and avoid crowds, I keep on saying in whatever city I am that it must be amazing in the spring and winter. I think I will make a vow to travel only when it's warm, wherever it is I go. So sorry Shapanka, I was thinking about Chicago in March but it's too damn cold.

And I smell dinner. Yea!
