Home Again to New York

Home again, home again, . . .

 

In less then 24 hours, we’ll be winging our way back to New York, cats in tow after spending the past 11 weeks here in Paris.  Time has flown and already we are looking forward to coming back in the spring.

 

While it’s exciting to be going home to see family and friends, we’re leaving a little bit of ourselves behind – ‘pousette’ included, and bringing some excess baggage home both in our bags and on ourselves!

 

It’s been a wonderful experience filled with lots of firsts for both of us - not only in terms of the Paris experience, but also what we learned about ourselves and each other.   The good news is, we’re still speaking to one another even though we‘ve discovered that men are in fact from Venus and women from Mars!

 

Today we spent a little time going back to some of the places we’ve been, and saying goodbye to people we have gotten to know, particularly Ashley at the café, the lady at the dry cleaners, Elisabeth the ‘podologue’, and Rob and Nancy, our upstairs neighbors who are heading off to Australia soon.   I’m only sorry that our favourite bakery was closed today and we’ll be leaving even before they get up tomorrow morning!

 

I’m personally going to miss the market experience, the pace of life and the friendly greetings wherever you go.  Thanks to all of you who stayed connected through e-mail and sent so many comments to our ‘Blog Log’.  We are looking forward to seeing you soon in person.
