Roughly a year ago this weekend I was in Paris. I recently saw the Woody Allen movie Midnight in Paris with my famous cinema going friend and I loved it. There is something about Americans in Paris, and families going to Paris, working out kinks in their relationships and rediscovering themselves and each other... Paris is indeed another world, an escape from mundane reality. When we were there, we started the trip just like the beginning of the film, in Giverny. Little would I imagine that our artist friend would remember those "mauvaises herbes" growing outside Monet's house...Every little street is different, every cathedral and church is lofty and silent (except for the one where we tried to stifle our "fou-rire" that we caught after lighting a candle...Just near Les Halles...
I hope we make it to Paris again in 2012.
