Sorry for the silence on my end. It has been a whirl-wind week with Parent Nights, kindergarten applications, marathon tapering, and a trip to Paris. YEP, a trip to Paris. I think Ken and I are the only people in the world who live in NYC who are planning to run the NYC marathon (this weekend), who decide to leave the weekend before for a quick adventure to Paris. Nothing says “rest” and “don’t do anything out of the ordinary” more than a 3 day trip 5-days-till-marathon with 7 hour per day walks and rose wine. But hey, you only live once. Crossing my fingers that this fun and beautiful trip will not hinder my marathon experience or expectations. Perhaps wishful thinking, but I am happy we did it. And since you haven’t seen enough pictures of Paris recently on the blog (here and here and here and here and here), here are some more. Enjoy!
Eiffel Tower — haven’t seen you in 4 months. Still as beautiful as ever.
Fall in Pareeh.
Cafe. Drank 3 of those per day….and I wonder why I couldn’t sleep at night….
An unbelievable lunch at Cafe Charlot.
Hamburger the french way (silent H)
Stumbled upon 2 different art fairs on Sunday. Both were contemporary art shows in historic buildings. The perfect twist.
Blue door. Only the French women could make Uggs look chic.
A corner
A wall

Best socks store ever. And classy in red.
Same tower, different bridge.
Bateaux Mouche.
Our love lock…..Ken and I have eternal love, but just not sure where our lock is….
Trees in the Park Luxembourg.
Play on the Louvre?
Inside the Grand Palais (at the FIAC art fair, but the most interesting thing — besides the French Female style, more on that later — was the roof!)
Sunset
Yep, pigeons in paris are more glamorous, too.
Notre Dame

Ham and cheese
Buildings
So there you have it. NOW back to reality….and a marathon to run.

Beautiful pictures! I love Paris, and Cafe Charlot is definitely one of my favorite places to have brunch in the Marais. Good luck running the Marathon!
