Paris


So we've spent the last week in Paris, which has been absolutely wonderful. I have not found the time to write, although now I seem to think about blogging everytime I do or see something new.
Nate had a great conference in the UNESCO building, titled Extreme Values, so Tara and I got to explore by ourselves for a few days. We found a park at the foot of the Eiffel tower that was so nice we decided to spend each morning there. We met many friendly people there, one, a nanny from Chicago who had been in Paris only two weeks, was helpful in describing other great places for kids in Paris. This was the park in which we found out that Paris was not like it was 15 years ago, the people are friendly and helpful and just a pleasure to be around. I had one of those conversations that I love, one entailing how many languages a child can be taught and still figure out how to speak :) The most I heard about was four. You could think, poor kid, but come on, if I could do that for Tara, I definitely would. I have spent so much time over the last week imagining what I'd blog about, that now I cannot think. So I'll stop with this; Paris is wonderful and most Parisians are quite accommodating. The food is wonderful and the sights are just as you'd imagine. I'm sure I'll continue this next time I have a chance to sit down, but for now, good night from Paris
