Headed Back Home

How quickly time flies. I've been in paris already for a month, and fly back home to Los Angeles tomorrow. But I leave Paris very satisfied, as always, going home with a piece of this city in my heart. The true friendships I have made here only deepen; I cherish them greatly. The work I have accomplished and the inspiration this city has provided has been enormous. The long walks down streets that host the most buildings that are nothing less than candy to the eyes, the cafes, the exhibitions - even the metro rides, shopping sprees and bookstores, the conversations and dinners and parties...

I go home with a full heart, with gratitude, and enough work in my portfolio to start the new year right.

A bientot.

A Rare Day

Snow in Paris is a rare happening, but I was lucky enough to awaken to a surprising day filled with snow flurries. They didn't stick much to the streets, which became more of a slushy mess in the gutters, but instead blanketed the parks and buildings and trees in a veil of white. It was a beautiful sight.
It made me feel happy. I think it was an omen, that this year is going to be filled with new and unusual things...

Living in Paris

I have to say that living in Paris is a very different experience than visiting Paris. I have been renting apartments here for over a year now, for anywhere from one month to 3 1/2 months at a time, and I have worked with a company called Paris Attitude, that I happened upon on the internet. I have to say that each and every apartment (now in my 4th apartment), has been exactly as they show it to be on their website. I have worked with Caroline Cremades, who I finally met about 6 months ago, and can't imagine working with anyone but her - she's just been terrific in making everything flow very easily.

So for any of you thinking of traveling to this part of the world, do take a look at their website...
