Hi Deda, Your article about the beauty of Paris, through seeing photos in books, brought back my memories of my trip to Italy in 2015. I think traveling anywhere in Europe is a feast for ones senses. The sights to see, the sounds to hear, the different foods to smell and taste all excite me. As I walked across a bridge in Venice or down a street in Rome or Capri, I was able to touch the century old stone, touch the beautiful carvings on a door and actually touch the stone wall in a beautiful blue grotto, when the captain of the boat backed in to the grotto and said, " Go ahead and touch it". I was the only one from our tour group who wanted to sit at the back of the Ferry boat.
You show many photos of doors & doorways. I found doors were one of my favorite photo subjects. Each one is a story in itself.
I could go on & on about my trip with my husband to Italy. I would love to go there again.
There are many more places to see, never enough time or money. TV, the internet and books will have to due for my travel thirst.
I am just getting to this and it was a nice way to end a long day and now if you can believe it, it looks like today Georgia will top Florida in the crazies. Who will it be tomorrow?
All wonderful--except the bike part! Really? No way on God's green Earth I would ride a bike on Paris city streets. That's only for those who have a death wish.
I know that there's a worldwide competition for which country has the craziest drivers, but I think the Parisians are definitely in the top five.
I myself wondered about actually biking through traffic - the sidewalk? certainly not the street full of cars. I guess it's as unreasonable as you say!
Thank you for this Postcard, Deda! It was exactly what I needed to give me a small reprieve from the real world! A moment to enjoy, remember and dream of maybe.
What a lovely travelogue, Deada..as well as a respite.

Thanks for letting me know you found it a mini-vacation, Patty, which is what I had hoped for!
Lovely tribute to my home for nearly 25 years. Unfortunately, there really isn't a Paris everywhere. Just one. Unique.
Sam, as every good husband, owes you a trip there... Hit me up for advice when you're planning your trip, even if it's just another armchair visit.
You're invited! Looking forward ...

Peggy, I'm heartened that you received my message, "a small reprieve from the real world". But you've added the dream and given it energy!
