Seize the Day in Paris - Sacré-Cœur

This week, some of my favorite ways to "carpe diem" in Paris......
#1 - Climb Montmartre all the way up to Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. (No need for a run today :)

Le Métro - Franklin D Roosevelt

My friend Sean took this photo for me of the Franklin D Roosevelt Métro station. FDR has always been my favorite station because it smells like Paris to me. This particular platform is always hot and windy and is nothing special to look at, but I love to go there and breathe in the smell of the city.

As a happy accident, he also got a shot of me in the train's window. This is one of my favorite photographs of the whole trip.

Manger et Boire - Un café crème, s'il vous plait

 

The business of eating and drinking takes on special importance in Paris. There are so many wonderful tastes to explore. The first order of business upon arriving in Paris? Order a café crème (coffee in a large cup with hot cream), bien sûr!

Amite Amoureuse

One year ago today I flew home from Paris with an iPhone full of photos and just a vague idea of what I might do with them. Today I am starting to see what they might become. If you are curious, follow this blog to see what emerges. Bienvenue!
