Beginning, Preparation

Slowly but surely, I am learning. I learned how to include music on my blog, as we can hear. With just a little looking, I put two and two together and voila! Enjoy the work by le compositeur Frederic Chopin, la chantuese Edith Piaf, and a piece from the French film Amelie. Both Chopin and Piaf are buried in the celebrated Pere Lachaise Cemetary in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. This is a hallowed place I plan to see! There is a marvelous 2006 documentary by Heddy Honigmann entitled Forever that guides the viewer through an intimate and transformative walk through the famed cemetary.

Have a great time. This time of year in Paris is Soldes which is something like the greatest sales on earth. So shop now girl! Ask around, people will tell you where to shop. Here are some links to someone I know in Paris. She is American and runs a little tea shop, this the blog for the tea shop (it sounds like your cup of tea) http://loisivethe.wordpress.com/ check it out. Here is her regular blog: http://putyourflareon.blogs.com/ I have never met her but we got to know each other a little through blogging and I really would have liked to go and see this little cafe she has. It's open like 11-7 or something like that.
