Home Sweet Home

I was so excited to go on my trip but equally as happy to be home. I had the most amazing time, Paris was everything I dreamt it would be, but girls you could have told me how big it was! My oh my did I walk some miles! And who said the Metro was easy? But what a beautiful city. I ate my way round Paris visiting Laduree and Angelina's (Went twice!) The hot chocolate is to-die-for! Oh and we can't go past the vanilla slices and strawberry tarts...pure heaven. Those croissants are like none i've ever tasted! And don't even get me started on the cheeses and the baguettes! No wonder they are under the arm of every Parisian. And Yes, I nearly died when I got on the scales, how could I have possibly gained so many kilo's? Ha! Ha!
Anyway beside the food, I loved it all and our apartment was devine. Small but cosy...was it my imagination, or was everything so small i felt like a giant? I had to laugh at how small the lifts were I felt like I was in a coffin! We opted for the three flights of very narrow stairs though. We went to the tourist hot-spot, the Louvre which was amazing but we got lost amongst the Pharaohs and tombs! In fact, we went around in circles for about half an hour until we stupidly figured out Sortie meant Exit! We had lots of laughs and a few confusing moments, but we had the best time ever! Lots to show-and-tell, but the highlight of the trip was definitely the Chateau, might i quote SATC when i say "I died and went to Heaven!" Vicki Archer, I'm now truly jealous!

Welcome back Judy,
How glad am I that you ate your way around Paris! The good news is you are home now and will no doubt shed those unwelcome kilos in minutes whereas 'greeedy puss' here keeps indulging whenever I can - so much for self control!
I am so glad your trip was everything you hoped for and I am very much looking forward to more Parisian news. xv

Oh, I want to see the pics!
I really laughed with the lifts situation. It's normal here in europe that the lifst are tiny. For me the weird thing is to enter in a lift bigger than my bathroom, lol...
