Just over 10 years ago I moved to Paris. Can it be that long ago? It was early May 1999. It seems like a world away. And although it wasn't easy - and wasn't what I expected - I knew that I'd return to Europe to live...and here we are. But I haven't been back to Paris since Emily and I left our apartment in late 1999 (hmm..anyone confused...living with another woman while married???) Although the program I signed up for wasn't exactly as advertised Emily and I had a good time and will always have the experience of living in Paris.
This time I am going with Seth and staying right in the 5th arr. right near my first apartment. I had a good luck/bad luck situation when I lived there - great neighborhood - horrible accomodations!! I was rescued by Emily and moved to the 16th arr. into a wonderful place for the remainder of the year. She was also able to leave some luggage behind at her old place... Anyway. It will be fun to show Seth the city. I am so much more comfortable with this trip compared to our 'boys trip' last spring when we went to London. I know Paris - plus we are taking the train and staying in a one bedroom apartment. So easy.... I can't wait to see his reaction when he gets there!
Ah.... we'll always have Paris. :) I can't believe it's been over 10 years! Can't wait to hear about your trip with Seth.
