Nostalgia

My stepsister and her fiance just recently got back from a trip to Germany, Austria, and N. Italy, she sent me some of her pics and it made me want to plan my next trip to Europe for my belated honeymoon. I started looking at the pics that my then girlfriend, now wife, took the last time we were in Paris and now I am longing for a return visit. Paris to me is the most lovely big city in the world. Its not hard to see why Hemingway, Stein, and Fitzgerald settled there. I'll confess to a little bias, I'm a wine geek and a foodie, and my wife is quite the francophile, so perhaps this clouds my perception, but strolling through the 6th Arrondissement, seeing the Tour Eifel at night, and simply eating at any corner bistro are singular experiances that cannot be replicated anywhere else. I wish I was independently wealthy and could travel the world, but until then I will carefully plan my next foray to Europe and revisit my past trips through my pics. Damn I love travelling.
