I loved having Anna here this weekend. It was a great combination of here and home, because we were in Paris, but she wanted to see the Paris I live in, not the tourist stuff. highlights include:
- Taking her for falafel enlightenment (she wants to come back just for the falafel...ladies and gentlemen, we have a conversion!)and then to the Carnavalet musee to let her inner history geek out to playIn the wonderful Place des Vosges in the Marais, after the Falafel
- playing grownups and having a dinner party, chez moi, for my friends, Anna, and I. I loved it. It was great to cook for people, it was nice to be able to stay in, and Anna got to meet some of my friends here, which was wonderful!!
- vegging here (soooo what if we kinda watched GWTW...that's not a crime, right?)
- Taking her up to Montmartre so she could see where Amelie was filmed/see the Moulin RougeIn front of the Sacre Coeur, where a scene from Amelie is filmed (the one where she returns the photo album if you care)
- Fondue and beers with Eddie near St. Michel, with a detour to Notre Dame so she could prove she was actually in Paris.
It really was a great, relaxing weekend, one that gave my a glimpse of what I sort of home my life will look like in years to come...
but for now, I get to return the favor!! I'm going to Florence this weekend, and Anna gets to show me around :) very exciting!!
ciao! (that's pretty much the extent of my italien...)

There. That should help. No thanks needed!
Oh yes: 'panino della mozzarella e pomodoro, per favore' should help keep body and soul together too.

Hi Anna-san!!!!
It's wonderful to see you for a little bit, even if only vicariously thru Becky's post... I'm glad life is good for you!
Also makes me all the more excited to see Paris soon, knowing how good and well practiced a tour guide Becky is becoming!
Lotsa love...
Can't wait to explore with you the Paris you're in love with...
