So We Did It

…we planned a trip to Paris! We leave for our adventure this May and I CANNOT wait until then. I haven't been out of the country since 2010 and I'm looking forward to embracing Paris and its culture.  I've been reading about it frantically, and have our days tentatively planned. I'm pretty sure that I don't want to be the tourist that has every second of every day planned. BUT I also don't want to just wander the streets with no real intention. It's a fine line, I guess.

In my quest for Paris-related-internet knowledge, I've stumbled across some great finds and, you know what, I'm going to share these finds because I'm just that kinda gal.

Here they are in no real order:

(An ex-pat FOOD CRITIC, living Paris. There are so many good restaurant finds on his site, it's ridiculous.)

(This one is by far my favorite, probably because Rachel has great style, AND, AND, AND, she's kinda living out my dream. She has her own cooking show, an adorable blog, and a beautiful apartment in Paris! What's not to love?)

(A sightseeing site! You can find every tour under the sun on that site!)

(Rose has blogged about Paris a few times and I just love her insights!)

I really cannot wait to put all of this researching to use!

What Would You Doooooooo With 3 Months Off

Jenni always posts the best blogging challenges, and this month's challenge is no different.  One of her questions really intrigued me, so much so I felt compelled to answer.

If you could take three months off from your current life and do anything in the world, what would you do?

My answer is an absolute NO BRAINER. I would move to Paris for three months and get to know myself. I would wander the streets of the different arrondissements  stopping in cafes and shops. I would write in a journal about everything and nothing.  I would sign up for French lessons and become tres fluent (a life goal of mine). I would embrace the culture and determine what I value most in this life. I would visit Versailles and do all of those quintessential things one does in Paris.  Basically, I would pull a Sabrina and I would find myself in Paris. 

where i would be living, obviously

just one of the cafes i would be drinking endless cups of coffee in
