Oh, Paris, how can we stop loving you?
And I am back after four years, and all the fond memories, the fine food, great architecture, even the french language, came back to me. It was late September, the weather was great, and here we are, walking on the streets of Haussmann, touching the Pyramids, crossing the Seine...
