Oh Paris, Paris, Paris, What can I say.

"Paris is known as the city of love as it has a favorite destination for couples wishing to enjoy their honeymoon. It has historical, dramatic places and minutes after you can watch the Seine River going by while quietly sitting on a bench. Paris dazzles a person's eyes with the aforesaid reasons. The beauty of Paris and its contrast from one's own city also bring a feeling of excitement and experience that one has not felt before. Great place to relight romance and fall in love again because it's spontaneous rather than routine." Something I researched on Google there. 
And I thought, what makes this city so grand? I saw San Francisco when I traveled to Paris but with more people and Museums; it was an adventure through the Metro stations and walking miles a day to avoid traffic with a car. The night I saw the Eiffel Tower was the night my eyes became exactly like the "anime eyes" on TV. I was struck with beauty and how magnified the tower was in front of my eyes, I couldn't believe I was standing in front of it so close that I can see the details of the architecture. I fell in love, not because of the "city of love" but because one of my dreams came true, seeing Paris and the tower has been on my mind since my childhood. As a little girl I read the stories of "Madeline" a little french orphan who attended a private catholic school that had numerous adventures in Paris. The pictures of the city were marvelous and I told myself," One day, just one day I can see what she saw." And true, I was in the city of my Bucket List, and it was amazing, because ever since that first glimpse of the tower on TV, magazines, websites, etc, I knew I just had to see it in person. After being mesmerized by the "dream come true" feeling, I had to stop for coffee because it was cold and I needed to sit, sip, and enjoy the sensation of Paris. Many cafes to choose from, so we went to the corner cafe and ordered a "cafe con creme" which was delicious! Not sure of the milk they used or the beans they roast but the taste was so warming it was a hug to my skin as a welcome to the best city in France. I couldn't absorb all the sensations my body and soul were experiencing but it was magnificent because I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world and as said by many, "
The beauty of Paris and its contrast from one's own city brings a feeling of excitement and experience that one has not felt before."

Chocolate bar


In a simple and easily edible way to describe this is..... Chocolate Bar. That's it. I mean look at it...can you see how mouth-watering this looks. It's a dream come true for me. After a long day of getting lost in the famous Louvre, I was ready to collapse with exhaustion and say "I am done". But no... must fall into protocol and be like all Paris folks...sit, order, drink and enjoy. What better way to raise energy for the walk back home? Well this seems to be the number one way to hit diabetes but in fact my dear friends it was a ride to heaven that soothed the muscles from the walk and sent chilled down ones spine. I enjoy many chocolatey things because it seems to be the way God would intend it to right? I ate or rather I drank it because it was my message from above. People, when you see chocolate in front of you, do the merciless world a favor and eat it because if not...then it is a sin my friend.  

Macchiato exquisite

What captures the mind from distractions and To-Do List? A book, music, food, sex, etc. What really sets those into the explicit world of taste and adventure? It's a world of adventure and tastes to be discovered that sets the soul to travel and begin seeing what truely sets the heart to beat. France had that taste of wonderness and delights. A simple sip for a 5 minute break of walking the streets sends the elaborate relaxation the body yearns for. I look at this beverage with loads of caffeine as a natural drug that can be enjoyed with no guilty, rather it be a guilty pleasure. This Macchiato was average for the Paris Community, the sips were like water on the go and it was easy and quick to purchase. Outside with a cigarette and the cup in one hand was a message of "I have things to do but I will stop and enjoy my Me Time". Interestingly I found this fascinating because although the smell of tabacco was not as pleasing, it was normal for the community to do so. It was artistic in a way that I may never be able to explain, Americans do the same, but it is on the go. French folks see it as a reward and down time, the cup is small, can be sipped in 3 or 4. So as I sipped mine, I look at the folks walking, sitting and enjoying themselves only to realize that I too can do the same without feeling "late" or "behind".
