I walked trough Paris like it was ma ville natale. I knew everything from the books. The highlight was when I sat at the Flore cafe and ordered un petit vin blanc! I almost died!!!<br />The situation with the refugees in Greece right now is unbelievable! We Athenians are helping as much we can but this is not the solution.

Invariably, delight ensues if I've kept my eyes wide open. (How many clichés can I fit into one comment?) My second-grade teacher introduced us to France, which she just had visited.

And look at that sky in the "dyers street". (Is that correctly translated?) :-)<br />The time of carnival and the sun is bright and the sky a bright cyan. Amazing! <br />That same carnival that I fled from two years ago just to find the same blue sky in Arles!<br />And that second to last image its got a certain spirit with that light. A Van Goghian Spirit with the reflection of the window glasses.<br /><br />Beautiful, Heather.
