Oh yes, I have lived in a suburb of Paris for almost 2 years now. I have wandered the city enough to not even get lost too often. I am continuing to discover new routes and places to only come around a corner and to my surprise know where I am! Forget Google or maps, just go for it!

I'm so glad you had your solo trip to Paris! I went with a friend 2 years ago to celebrate retirement. It was one museum after another and exhausting. I never sat in a cafe and just watched people and enjoyed coffee or champagne. My husband would not let me go solo and this year I am lucky to find a tour sponsored by Victoria Magazine and will visit the City of Light the first week in April. I am so very excited that the tour includes a cooking class at La Cuisine Paris! Yes, I read her book, such an eye-opener to French culture. The tour leaves plenty of time to explore Paris on our own! Can't wait!

Au Revoir.

Now that I have most of my bucket list items checked off I really can’t wait to spend a few weeks just blending in and immersing myself in this beautiful and exciting culture.
