paris in september...

i was listening to npr this morning on the way to work (yes, i like to be intellectual every once in a while) and they were doing a segment on the return of life to paris, after all the tourist have left. that's it, i want to book my flight now!

my sister spent an entire semester abroad in paris, and stupid me never went to visit her during that time.

there are so many things i'd like to do, places i'd like to see there, and the beginning of fall seems just like the time to do it...

a picnic on the eiffel tower lawn...


a morning mass at notre dame...


a stroll along the river seine promenade...


absorbing creativity in the louvre (for days)...


many, many stops at pastry shops...


getting lost in the hidden nooks & crannies of the streets of the city...


a romantic kiss with my sweetie...
