However, it's been a while since I've been to Paris and my memories are still picture perfect. I guess some things you never forget!<br /><br />How kind of your exchange family to welcome you with such open arms and feed you like a KING! I do remember dinners when I went with my daughter not starting until 9:30 or 10:00 in the evening. It seemed like that's when everything got going.<br /><br />I hope you've had time to go back since. I haven't but can't wait until I do. The food was amazing and the sites. The only thing I didn't like was eating in a restaurant with people sitting practically on top of me smoking while they ate their meal. I could never figure out how someone could actually taste what they were eating if they were smoking in between bites.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your fond memories.Vicki Bensingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454176256941372252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841645566318950865.post-67090514401913341172012-05-11T08:54:38.640-04:002012-05-11T08:54:38.640-04:00Not going to lie, but if I went to paris, I would ...Not going to lie, but if I went to paris, I would probably spend my whole time eating pastries too.
