My next trip I took was Paris. Its a big embarressement to admit I havent been there in all these 26years with it being so close..
Seeing one of my friends( Yasmin)from back in Perth, whom I used to work with at Empire in Osborne Park, is living and doing her internship there in Arts/design/fashion (well, what better place to do so on earth apart from paris?!), I was determined to go and visit her which I did. It was wonderful to catch up with her, spend time and see Paris. A beautiful, beautiful city with breathtaking art and history aswell..reminded me a lot of vienna (even though vienna, of course, doesnt have all that magical feel of emotions). it was terribly, awfuly cold and it almost made it impossible to take pictures as my Hands froze as soon as taking them out of my pocket & gloves (different cold that here in Switzerland). The city in full of Boulangeries, Fromageries, Patisseries, Florists, street Art, antiquity and , yes like in the movies, people constantly carrying a Baguette everywhere at everytime;) The people, mostly, are friendly, very well dressed and very polite!
Apart from the Paris- experiances like coffee at Laduree, the eiffel tower, beautiful gardens etc I went to visit my Grandmother`s (Dads Mum) old family friend. Their friendship goes way back to world war 2, when her Family offered him great corresponding via letters over all those years. So I decided to find him and went for an interesting, fulfilling, emotional visit at his Doctor practice, Art Studio and beautiful home in Paris..My Grandmother was thrilled and loved the Pictures I took for her and most of all of course, all the news and stories I had to tell:)
I definately want to go back to Paris in one of the warmer months this year..
Here a little illustrated tour of Paris for you..
