Technical Difficulties!



Sorry I have been M.I.A. since christmas! How embarrassing for my blog! I've been in Paris for 3 days now and have been having an amazing time, one in which I would love to share with you all, but my photos are loading one every hour, if that! I've been working on my first days in Paris post for 2 days now! Anyways, please stay tuned.....I leave for Marseille tomorrow and know that the internet connection there will be PARFAIT!
In the meantime, enjoy this pic of the Tour Eiffel I took the other day with my snazzy new camera...it took about an hour for it to load! Oh La La!

Premier Jours à Paris

Thanks everyone for being patient while I figured this internet business out. Must be Paris!
So this is my original post written a few days ago, but I was unable to load the photos so I didn't want to post it sans pics, what's the fun in that........Original post startiiiiiiiing now.

I had sooooo much stuff to do before leaving. Of course I waited till the morning I left to finish packing! So I made it to Paris fine.....great in fact....My seat on British Airways going from LAX to London double booked my seat, so as compensation they bumped me to first class. That's right....first class on a 10 hour flight. I tell ya that was the best sleep I've ever gotten during any kind of transit. I loved the very attentative flight attendants serving champagne and fine dining. I really don't know how I could go back to coach after that. I don't want to think about that now.
As I mentioned in my first post, once I landed in Paris, after a long journey, I needed a macaron STAT! Good thing Eric read my blog before picking me up because the first thing he did, after being apart 4 months mind you, was hand me a box of Macarons! J'aime Macarons, et toi aussi Eric!Here are some pictures from my first two days in Paris.....







Kid getting arrested for selling miniature eiffel towers on the Champs Elysees....apparently that is illegal.

Had my portrait done in next to the Sacre Coeur. I thought it was going to be one of those cheesy caricatures, but it actually turned out really nice.

We just arrived in Marseille to Eric's sisters adorable apartment. Will post pics after our exploration of the city.

Le premier Post


I'm getting ready for my trip to the land of the fresh baguette, and by getting ready, I don't mean packing as I should be, I mean I'm scouting out the best Macaron places in Paris (which will be my first stop on my adventure). Obviously my priorities are where they should be. I've had this obsession with the Macaron ever since I had my first taste months ago of the beautifully creamy Pistachio cookie. It was actually love at first sight. I think the first thing I will require once in the city of lights is a Pistachio Ladurée Macaron...I didn't even know I liked pistachios until I tried that delectable treat. Mmmm.

I'm distracted with thoughts of Macarons!

Merry Christmas xx
Joyeux Noël xx
