It was just a year ago that we spent 5 weeks living in Paris. We've been reminiscing a lot lately about our time there.
What we miss...
outdoor/sidewalk cafes, the metro, historical buildings, Seine river, bridges, walking everywhere, Jardin du Luxembourg, watching "Friends" in french and trying to guess what they are saying, crepes, La Tour Eiffel, Disney World Paris, free wifi at every McDonald's, walking everywhere, bustle of the European city, markets, our favorite cafe on Ile de St. Louis, shopping for groceries at Ed, carousels, all french food, wine, Parisian Chinese food, Versailles, the marionette show in the park, shopping, walking everywhere!
What we don't miss...
dog stuff on the sidewalks, risque (to say the least) advertisements, public bathrooms-gross!, carrying your groceries from store to the apartment while pushing a stroller, cigarette smoke, every thing's expensive, stores open whenever the owner decides, 3 channels of t.v. and nothing appropriate to watch after 10 p.m., the customer is never right and should feel privileged to even be let in the door, red tape, riots, sub-par Disney World accommodations.
