There's no place like home...

---

I've been to some pretty cool places in my life, but there is nowhere I'd rather be in the spring than Denver (except maybe Paris!) It's a gorgeous day here; the weather is PERFECT and the birds are singing right outside my window. Everyone seems to be outside today - tending to their yards, washing their cars or talking with neighbors. My son, dad and I played some basketball on the driveway a little bit ago - but I lost them both to video games and a lazy afternoon nap, respectively.

It seems all I can do or think about relates to my trip. I'm stressing a little about the language; and the more I learn about things (places, people, culture), the more excited and nervous I get. I'm very much looking forward to visiting Shakespeare and Co., Le Brasserie Lipp, Cafe de Flore, Cafe Les Deux Magots, and Chanel. LOVE Chanel. I'm hoping to bring back a fabulous Chanel handbag - qu'un souvenir fabuleux!

Well - I'm going to go enjoy some of this beautiful Colorado spring day!

Ciao
