I Dream of Paris

I KEEP DREAMING I'M IN FRANCE ... more specifically in Paris. In these dreams I'm ecstatically happy, the sun is shining, I have a feeling you only ever have when on holiday abroad (a feeling that keeps coming in random flashes more and more these days). Last night I was marvelling at the beauty of the French language as some unseen person babbled away...

... What these dreams mean I have no idea. But I decided if it doesn't work out on German-speaking shores, I would flee to France instead (which just came out with the highest quality of life rating in Europe) ...

Illustrated: Paris as it actually looks when you're there. Probably the "Left Bank"...

  1. It's funny - my whole life I never cared at all about seeing France or Paris - except perhaps the art galleries but now, I think it would be worth while after all. I know if we ever visit Ireland again, we will likely visit a few places in Europe as well since we'd be so close.

  2. Ahhhh ma cherie, France is indeed beautiful and the French a very special race ... i.e. totally mad!!! Generally speaking they have no taste in music, but that makes them particularly endearing LOL. If you ever want to go to Paris, I am game hehe.

    By the way, tried about 10 combinations of your email yesterday, but they all bounced back. Can you try and email me maybe? karinadotstoitznerdotatbtinternetdotcom

    Lots of autumnal Love

  3. Gleddy,
    I love Paris and the French. I would live there in a hot minute if all my loved ones weren't here in the U.S.

  9. Akelamalu: maybe it is a premonition! I've never been to Berlin so cannot dream memories of it... but oddly I keep coming back and back to Paris in my sleep...

    Baino: Paris is beautiful. Probably the most beautiful city of any great size in the entire world!

  12. Haha, I've been crazed with midterms but I saw this and had to comment.
    Paris is one of those places that on a bad day you HATE it, everything is terrible, you want everyone around you to die, etc., but on a good day, it's amazing, and beautiful, and you just feel lucky that you get to be here...

    I just found out some exciting shit about Paris, but until it pans out, I'm keeping it hush hush.
