Where's Wendy?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”Mark Twain

Paris- December

The classiest subway sign ever.
Paris in springtime, Paris in the fall, Paris in December??

Funny enough, this is one of our favorite times to visit Paris.  No one seems to decorate with as much panache as Parisians.  It doesn't matter if you are in a tiny bistro, a cheese shop, or a large department store (Le Printemps is one I recommend)-- the decorations are breathtaking.
Montparnasse Cemetary




Mary waiting for the arrival of the baby
until Christmas morning

Great statuary on the Cathedral


It's worth walking around Notre Dame
to see the flying buttresses

Tour boats run all year on the Seine



Beautiful mango display in a Sunday morning Farmer's market

Parisian shops and restaurants spare no expense
on Christmas decor

Enjoy a coffee here in good (former) company:
Sartre, Hemingway, Camus and Picasso
