All Seasons Paris Bercy

... of all the time I’ve spent in Paris and of all the wonderful things I’ve seen, the most amazing part of a visit to Paris is simply assimilating into a neighborhood and becoming local. That means frequenting the same café until you begin to recognize waiters no matter what time shift it may be: check. That means knowing which metro exit is closest to your hotel: check. And, finally, that means meeting and talking to people who live in that neighborhood ...

Wednesday morning at 6:30 we woke up and left the hostel within 20 mins and got on the metro to the airport. Our flight left Paris at 10:15 and arrived in Dublin at 12. We then went through preliminary customs and were sent to this basement chamber terminal with the other international travelers, and were not allowed to leave that one gate because we had already cleared customs. So ...

... came right off and we caught the bus to Disneyland Paris. We had a great time at Disneyland, the kids caught up on some sleep and enjoyed the parks and the shows. I'm not sure who had more fun hanging out with the characters? Cohen repeatedly telling them that he loves them even if he doesn't know their name and Caleb hugging them to death. Off to Paris next. ..

I've just finished the first trans-Atlantic leg of what will be a month-long trip through Africa and Europe. This trip should take me to Côte d'Ivoire - including a trip en brousse (in the bush) to visit a new group of interested people about 400 km from Abidjan in the town of Man - as well as Kinshasa in the Congo, a layover in Nairobi, South Africa, Zambia (my first visit there), Mauritius and Reunion Islands in the Indian ...

... expected to have a little independence. The thing is that in Paris, I never felt like the French acted horribly toward us. In fact, I found everyone to be very hospitable. It's just that in order to get what you want, you had to ask for it yourself. When we arrived in Paris, we were just spoiled from Madrid and we had just had the happy reunion and Paris paled in comparison. But we were also dreading the big day that we had planned ahead of us. Basically we ...

... off my seat (I wasn't using it was I?) which had still been wrapped in plastic and so was still dry. She was all tucked in a appeared to be sleeping, so I let her be and placed my pillow over my legs to keep them warm until they dried. I slept reasonably well for a 5 ½ hour flight, arriving in Paris only a little late, around 06:30. Out of Africa! Now I'll wait in the airport until Marjolaine arrives, which should be around 10:30.

... of Notre Dame. While in the area, a young French man asked me for directions to the Place St. Michele on the left bank. I smiled and directed him. I loved it! Twice now on this trip I was asked for directions. I walked back to the right bank. My street, rue Vieille du Temple was hopping. People were walking on the sidewalks and in the streets. I wanted to have one last drink at one of the cafes, but since I needed to get up early to head out, I went back to the room.

... The museum says the collection is at the 'garden' level, meaning I guess that the Tuilleries gardens are at the same level, but the space definitely has the feel of being in the basement. L'Orangerie houses Paul Guillaume's personal collection of impressionist works by the likes of Monet, Dégas, Renoir, Picasso, Derain, Modigliani, Soutine, and Rousseau. Guillaume was an art dealer and gallery owner who not only supported ...

... treat. First i take out my fresh smelling Euro's from their new Royal Mail wallet and put them in my own lucky travelling wallet that looks like my dog ate it it's been with me that long. I walk around to the counter and ask to buy two tickets, thinking she said 60 euros instead of 16 i dish over the cash and get repeated what i actually should have paid meanwhile this guy has come up behind me and is tapping me on the shoulder asking me if i ...
