Paris

Few other places in the world are visited with such great expectations. Literature, cinema and popular imagination have built Paris up as a city out of this world - the spatial equivalent of art and refinement. Did it live up to our expectations? Lets say, we went with our eyes open, with minimum baggage of expectations, and quite liked what we saw.


A and I had a restful week in Paris. We decided to be non-touristy tourists. We didn't go mad trying to cross sites off our list of things to see, and enjoyed each day as it came, selecting what we wanted to do based on what we felt like doing. And we enjoyed ourselves to bits.
