I hope that I will have as much excitement as you have had. I will remember to go and just look in to the shops in Barcelona and in Germany since we, too, will be on the Euro diet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-62760130364020089052008-04-04T21:54:00.000-04:002008-04-04T21:54:00.000-04:00I was so impressed to see that you returned withou...I was so impressed to see that you returned without even skipping a beat with your posts! Bravo! <BR/>THEN, I lost all respect for you. You FORGOT an Isphahan? Don't you know there are starving suburbanites in the heartland who might sell their firstborn for an Ispahan? Ok, so the firstborn wouldn't fetch the price of the ticket to Paris. They would have to resort to a life of crime, breaking into mansions and fencing jewels. ...no, that just wouldn't be right. They would buy dozens of French cookbooks, bake hundreds of macarons, double dig a new vegetable bed, and plant 6 varieties of raspberries, which would have to be weeded, mulched, watered, and pruned for at least 2 years before even harvesting a single berry! And you forgot an Isphahan! Hmph!<BR/>Well, I'm still glad you're back. Next trip, you will have to eat Isphahan every day for penance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-62124787905198265932008-04-04T21:16:00.000-04:002008-04-04T21:16:00.000-04:00So many things I wanted to comment on...but I forg...So many things I wanted to comment on...but I forgot them all when I laughed out loud at that sign.

That hotel sign is a riot--does it say anything on the flip side?! <BR/><BR/>Good for you being good with your eating on the road. I wish I could say the same--I always think it's the hardest thing to eat well on the road. I really try, but it's hard, and I'm not even around wonderful, decadent indulgences like you are--macarons, chocolates, etc...<BR/><BR/>anyway, good to have you back on this side of the pond for now, and look forward to your next jaunt off to Paris.<BR/>sueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-61452743104520495252008-04-03T14:15:00.000-04:002008-04-03T14:15:00.000-04:00Carol,I would prescribe you a little walk down in ...Carol,<BR/>I would prescribe you a little walk down in Tribeca, walk a little, drink some hot chocolate, perchance even find a macaron! ;-)Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-25908660482662428022008-04-03T14:14:00.000-04:002008-04-03T14:14:00.000-04:00can I come with you next time. :)can I come with you next time. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-68534631050551164952008-04-03T13:48:00.000-04:002008-04-03T13:48:00.000-04:00There will be plenty more of Paris photos, Stephan...There will be plenty more of Paris photos, Stephanie, since I took over 3,000 pictures.<BR/>Not to worry. <BR/>But I love the idea of doing a collage with the residue from a trip.

It makes me smile wistfully whenever I look at it. I'm sure it has no meaning to anyone but myself, but every little item, including the plastic axes from the Buche de Noell, remind me of what I was doing when I was there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-1470283909119567082008-04-03T12:41:00.000-04:002008-04-03T12:41:00.000-04:00So happy you and your 'bootie' made it home in rel...So happy you and your 'bootie' made it home in relative good condition. :)<BR/>Looks like some good things there. Can't wait for the paintings to start coming now. <BR/>I've been promised some Macarons when my friend comes back from France next week. Paul Macarons at that. They have a shop in the South of France now. I am excited.
