here’s what happened in paris

Published by MS

I end my holidays in Paris, always.Simply because I feel I belong there, and maybe one day I will… Anyway, I stay in the same hotel for a week, near the Arc de Triumph, and on day one hardly leave my room, just sitting at the desk, and writing, while staring at the Eifel Tower and the Arc. It doesn’t get any better than that, I assure you or those who have the same feeling about Paris. Day two I force myself to leave the room, and venture down Champ des Élysée, just strolling towards the gardens, eventually ending up at the Louvre. I always go down inside the main entrance area, and walk about the shops. Just in case you are wondering, I’ve been to the museum countless times, so on my most recent trips to Paris, I decided not to go inside the salons (Salle) to view the artwork, and fascinating artifacts and such. There is a shop right behind the information booth, I realized on this visit, that it was closed, boarded …

Actually that’s a lie. I dream about Paris all the time. My home is French inspired decor, my music French classic. I eat the way the French do, and my fashion sense has become more and more French. The only difference to the end of winter and beginning of Spring is that I feel the need to plan a trip to my perfect hideaway. So the planning begins, in my head, then to pitch it to my travel partner, and then make it happen. You can imagine how I surf the internet. Paris, Paris, Paris and more Paris, and I love it when I stumble upon blogs or online articles adding to my craze. Here’s a good example: 1. This article talks about Instagram ready restaurant photos, and what I got from it is, how much I want to check out the restaurants. 2. This article talks about spoting cute guys on the metro. I am fine with that: 3. The Beverly Hills of Paris? I am right there. For sure added to my things …

friday’s five interesting finds online – vol. one

Published by MS

Here I go again, revamping something I’ve done years ago. Sharing with you all a few interesting finds online. 1. I go to Paris at least once a year, and during my trip I shop at Monoprix for all of my snacks, and bottled water and so on. I actually look forward to doing that. So, here’s a story about Monoprix and how I will never venture out into their basements. Although it is an interesting find: 2. Twenty-Five things I didn’t know about Breakfast at Tiffany’s was an article I stumbled upon while looking up information about George Peppard-at the time the handsome actor who portrayed Holly’s love interest in the film. I was using his portrayal as research for my next novel. Anyway, here are the facts if you are interested. 3. Flight MH370 disappeared nearly a year ago (3/8/2014) and its story the most daunting. Still today, we have no idea what happened, and all of us rely on speculation, although deep down we all have a pretty good idea as to …
