I just got back from Paris!
Aside from showing how we do La Belle Danse in America, I had a number of interesting experiences, a few of which I will chronicle for your reading enjoyment in this our blogular adventure:
I was staying in a very Parisien "la Boheme" apartment-- a non-working fireplace and a delicious old mirror in every room, hot plate in the kitchen, and a continually dripping ceiling in the teeny-tiny bathroom. The apt. belonged to my charming harpsichord playing and baroque dancing friend Annabelle, and it is exactly the kind of place we would live, if we were lucky, in Paris.
As you may know in Paris, in the summer, it sizzles. I had to sleep with the window open to the busy street below, and I was treated to the antics of several drunk Parisiens, including one man who kept reapeating "Balance!" at another man. It is hard to balance sometimes.
Nearby the apartment is my new favorite discovery--the Quai de Loire, a canal with a little park along it where you can picnic and play pétanque (like bocce).
I'm going to America tomorrow! A few days in NYC, a few days in Washington DC to dance (kind-of), and a few days with my family in Ohio.

Steph mentioned you would be in town. I'll try to swing down to C-Bus to catch you when you're there.
