Paris is one of my favourite cities and your writing made me feel I was almost back there. Living in Sydney, Australia, Paris is a long way away but it doesn’t take much to get me back there … in my mind.

Thanks for taking me back to Paris again.

Regards,
Brad

Your post has made me very jealous. I love Paris but haven’t been there for many years. Am now at the stage where I’m telling my kids to go!

BTW: How are you getting on with the blog challenge? cheers Sarah
