I'm in Love

Yes, I am in Love, with Paris ofcourse. What is there not to love about Paris? Absolument rien. Nada, nothing at all. So instead of going on and on about this gem of a city, I would first like to apologize to Fashionista, for belittling her Paris to my London. I admit that my London will not even come close to her Paris.

On my way to Galerie Lafayette, I stopped by a little door that held a huge sign called Paris Story. We went in, paid 9 euros each and watched for nearly an hour he history of how Paris became the city it is today. The storyteller was a man in Love with Paris itself, none other than the Victor Hugo. Here he is by 3D illumination:
And he described her best when he said: As a beautiful woman.

The feeling of preserved history is evident in the buildings and here is Galerie Lafayette

and Le Cathedral de Notredame
And I got what I wanted: I got to celebrate my birthday at the Moulin Rouge.
Thank you God for giving me something I wanted. I look forward to having more of my wishes and dreams come true.

I know not how best to describe this gem of a city that I have fallen in love with, and I doubt I can top Victor Hugo's description, but I will settle for my sentiments of awe.

[insert FFWD: April 2010: I distinctively remember The One calling me while in Paris and wishing me a Happy Birthday 2 or 3 days after that, but I'm not sure if we've met or not. So did we swap numbers and talk on the phone?]

Till we meet again,
Sedeso
