Last night I dreamt about Paris again. Unlike the previous night,
this time I actually got to walk around the city. I woke up with an
intense feeling of excitement and awe. A sense of incredulous eagerness
hung around long after the dream had passed.
This is how I feel when I think about Paris, when I remember living
there. In that city it seems like a grand surprise awaits you around
every corner. You might wander into a deserted inner courtyard with ivy
draped over 200-year old window sills, you might come upon a Chinese
fish and poultry shop replete with curious knick-knacks. You might just
read about a sound and light show happening…yes…tonight, in the Parc de
la Villette, and you just might hop the next RER and go. When I lived
there, when I visited, joy followed me wherever I went. And how could it
not when you constantly expect to run into something wonderful,
magical. There, even the gray rains of autumn are lovely. The frisk
coldness of February mornings as you hurry across the Seine are
punctuated with a sense of historicity. To think – people have rushed
across these bridges for centuries, beholding the strict outlines of the
Louvre and the hollow curves of St.Eustache. So many mysteries, so many
treasures...Nana..
Eiffel Tower...Mona Lisa...Loccitane....
