Home, sweet home....

Got back late this afternoon after an uneventful flight from Frankfurt (uneventful flights are the best kind) and made the mistake of taking a "nap" which obviously turned into a 4 hour heavy sleep....so now it's 1:30am and I am wide wawke, but not for too long. I'm pretty good at kicking jet lag's ass so I'll be sleeping soon!

The first couple of days in Paris were not fun for me at all and I was wishing hubby and I had have headed to South America instead (my favorite part of the world) but it got better. You see, there are sights in the world that you really only need to see once, and those you can see many times and they will always take your breath away....and this is different for everyone, but for me; Notre Dame, the Louvre, etc are "one time" sights, whereas the Morena Glacier, the Iguazu Falls, any of the Mayan or Inka ruins, etc will have me captivated many times over.

It got better though, much better...and I began to remember why I have always said Paris is one of my favorite cities in the world. Hubby bought me some very cool shoes, and a beautiful dark gold evening dress...now we'll have to go somewhere cool so i can wear it! I also had the best, and I mean the best risotto I have ever tasted in my life....and I am one fussy bitch when it comes to making a good, perfectly cooked risotto. We also went to "Angelina", Paris's best tea house and had delicious tea with "mont blanc's"...mmmm, so good. FYI, I am an even fussier bitch when it comes to tea than I am with risotto!

So...lots of walking around discovering little corners of Paris I had not found before, lots of cafes and even a show with naked ladies (yes, we went to the Crazy Horse...talk about 80's hair and make up).

I am very good with foreign languages but French I suck at, I have always sucked at it...so today when we were in Frankfurt I was absolutely relieved to speaking German. English, German, Spanish and Japanese are all pretty manageable for me (well, I have forgoteen most of the japanese, it was 14 years ago that I lived there but I am sure I could pick it up again) but French, ugh, aside from counting, ordering food and saying I don't understand I just fucking suck at it.

and with that said, au revoir...I am going to bed so I am all refreshed to shoot the porn this week!
