I am actually considering renting on the L'Ile St Louis for our next trip up and would love to hear where you found yours. We have rented from Home Away in the past with good success. You will love your location--you can walk almost anywhere and you are close to fast metro lines for the farther out places. And you have a balcony? I see you already totally "get" it! Ok, lets see if Blogger lets me give you the link:<br />http://carlalovesphotography.blogspot.com/2011/11/paris-11-things-i-want-to-show-my-best.html<br />Actually there is so much on her blog that is perfect for Paris. One more bit of advice: buy a pair of ballet flats or Converse sneakers for walking--just like the Parisiennes do. And yes, I have even seen stylish friends mix Converse and Yamamoto...Don't hesitate if you have more questions. :)Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-63801565444167763012012-02-05T02:24:19.651+01:002012-02-05T02:24:19.651+01:00Very cute post dahhling... though I admire your cr...Very cute post dahhling... though I admire your craving & subsequent indulgence in snow, I simply could not image such frigid weather!HRH The Duchess of Statehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468222976305715556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-4953398029040880832012-02-04T22:51:23.700+01:002012-02-04T22:51:23.700+01:00I saw your comment on Enchanted home about visitin...I saw your comment on Enchanted home about visiting Paris. I am going in May for the first time. I took 6yrs of french as a girl bc I dreamed of going someday. I have kept up with reading, writing and speaking (to myself mostly) and am getting some language tapes to train my ear a bit. Your comment about renting an apt. was so good to hear! I always wanted to feel as though I was "living" in Paris and not visiting. Luckily good friends who have been many times advised us to get an apartment...we are staying on Ile St Louis and I am THRILLED! I can't wait to shop for some food, cook and sit on the balcony with a glass of wine. <br />I saw your note about someone who had written about visiting Paris like a Parisian.....can you tell me where to find that?<br />I am your newest follower!

Save yet another thank you for making me laugh out loud David and I hope that you will consider saving your stories to put together into a compilation one day. Judith, I should have known that you would appreciate that story, I found it so amazing. I'll deliver Ben's pat once he is done with his nightly bone.

I'm also glad that Ben got to frolic in snow. Both my dear departed yellow lab and my current dog love the snow. Last winter it was hip deep and this winter we've only had a few inches and they are already gone.<br /><br />Speaking of dogs, thank you for sharing that NY Times piece. Dogs really do make everything better. In fact, I went to an opening last night with a dear friend. She was glowing -- looked better than I'd ever seen her. When I jokingly asked her if she was having an affair, she said it was because of the dog she recently adopted. Dogs give us so much and ask for so little. Give Ben a pat from me.Judithhttp://judithaross.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-25178699151678386582012-02-04T13:10:59.168+01:002012-02-04T13:10:59.168+01:00Oh, those are beautiful photographs, Heather. Tha...Oh, those are beautiful photographs, Heather. Thank you. We haven't had even a dusting of snow here in central North Carolina this winter (which, as all the farmers are grimly saying, means that we'll have a bad drought this summer). In any case, your photographs were a real treat.<br /><br />I'd forgotten that you grew up in the midwest. I lived there for two yearsin my mid-twenties, having taken a job teaching at a fancy boreding-skool (the same one which produced our current Chief Justice)located at the tip of Lake Michigan.<br /><br />Now, I'd grown up in the mountains of Tennessee and, so, basically knew about snow....but, as I discovered that first night snow came down the lake from Canada, not the REAL STUFF.<br /><br />I stepped outside that Saturday morning afterwards, thought "How beautiful", and then panickedly realized "My Car Has Been Stolen!".<br /><br />I kid you not; I hysterically telephoned the police. They eventually arrived (which, of course, attracted a big gaggle of bored, yankee students from the dorms), politely asked where I'd last seen my car, and then (rolling their eyes) informed me that my little white Honda Civic was exactly where I'd left it.....parked in a corner between the gym-wall and a storage shed. It just happened to be covered over by a snowdrift. Not that I'd ever seen a snowdrift before then.<br /><br />I never lived that down until I left 2 years later.....I don't know how many times a student or one of the cops in that small town would grin and ask me "So, Mr. Terry...lost any cars lately?...."<br /><br />thanks again for the really lovely pictures,<br /><br />david Terry<br />www.davidterryart.comdavid terryhttp://www.davidterryart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-32467306794462465492012-02-04T10:53:30.025+01:002012-02-04T10:53:30.025+01:00You are so amazing SIster!
