I LOVE PARIS

The full moon was rising as we left Paris behind us. It couldn't have been more perfect. Four days in Paris - my head is still reeling. I loved it. We met up with friends in Paris, so we felt at home. We had dinner with Tony, Rob and Calvin in the 9th District and then had a drink at Cox just down from our hotel, Hotel de Nice - a little piece of history (42 bis Rue de Rivoli). A gorgeous hotel, with a beautiful room over-looking the cafes and french apartments. Wednesday we took a bus tour of Paris, a tour along the Seine, visited the Eiffel Tower, walked up the Arc De Triomphe, (bumped into Ben and his boyfriend), had lunch on the Champ-Elysees, walked through the Place de la Concorde and visited the Louvre. That night we met up with Dominque, her boyfriend, her friends from Melbourne and more french boys, who were gorgeous. After dinner we went to a brazilan night club. It was so much fun. On our way, we saw the Eiffel Tower sparkling like a million stars. Dominque looked amazing and her boyfriend took very good care of us. The following day we walked everywhere through the Marais district, past the Centre Pompidou, over to the Opera district and bought our 'wedding' rings at Galeries Lafayette. A shopping centre with a gorgeous ornate dome. BHV is another shopping centre on the Rue de Rivoli, which had everything you could possibly imagine. Even the toilets had a spectacular view of the Paris skyline. I purchased a set of Andy Warhol 'Grace Kelly' mugs. This morning it rained for the first time as we had breakfast. We sat outside drinking cafe creme watching the crowds rushing to work. The streets, boutiques, fashion and people are so stylish. We had lunch at a great cafe over looking our square. I had a Cheeseburger maison and Alan had a two course meal. At the end of our day we headed to the Gare du Nord to catch our train to London.
