It has taken almost two years for me to find myself saying, "This place is so cool." but the other day walking through the masses on rue de Rennes the thought popped into my mind. I don't enjoy walking in the masses on rue des Rennes but Paris is happening. So I decided to write about the things that I like so far
1. Paris is a multi-cultural city with people from everywhere just being like everyone else.
2. The public transportation is super.
3. You could wear your pygamas out on the street in paris and no one would look at you but then again you could be dressed head to foot to underwear in Coco Chanel and no one would still look at you.
3. Paris has cafes
4. You can find mangos and avocados and corn on the cob
5. the baguettes are killer
6. There IS an art scene in Paris
7. Luxembourg gardens is in Paris
8. Everybody delivers, even Ikea
9. YOu can hail a cab in Paris
10. Paris is you get great oysters
11. Paris is the chocolate shops are amazing
12. In summer the sunlight lasts until 11pm, no comment on winter.
13. You can fly or train to about anywhere in Europe from PAris
14. In Paris there are fantastic markets
15. IN PAris you can get great thai food.
16. Paris has the most amazing museums and I can get into them all for free!

This is a great list! One of the things I'm bummed about is that we had to postpone our August trip; one of the things I'm excited about is that we're going to be there in the summer now (hopefully August)!

Cool list! I have only been to Paris once (my first trip to Europe) and must return someday.
