Paris: Did it really even happen?

Our trip to Paris seems like a lovely dream.  It was the best kind of lovely dream, because it really happened!

We were able to view places from perspectives from which we'd never imagined.

 atop la Tour Eiffel

 outside the bell tower of La Notre Dame

eye to eye with the bored gargoyle

 toward the setting sun from La Notre Dame


We soaked in history of many forms:  artistic, literary, national, international, and what will become our own.

 a lovely tart and coffee at Les Deux Magots, one of Ernest Hemingway's beloved cafes to frequent. (and we got the last table, which was a small victory for a tourist at such an important cafe!)


The best thing that happened to me in Paris is that it settled into my soul.  It will always be a part of me now.  It lives in my history and, I hope, again in my future.
