Oh! The Places I've Been - "P" is for PARIS

It's been a very long time since I've seen Paris. When I look at these photographs, I'm transported back in time. Walking around the city with a paper map in one hand. Envying the French women and their style, so effortless. The scent of buttery croissants. Ghosts of Victor Hugo, Ernest Hemingway, Maurice Chevalier. Painters. Gypsies. Tourists. Lovers.photo by M. ReynoldsNotre-Dame Cathedral (above). The ubiquitous Eiffel Tower (below).photo by M. Reynoldsphoto by M. Reynolds"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." (E. Hemingway)And to end with a video. Here is a Spaniard (Julio Iglesias) singing a song about the sea (La Mer), better known to many of you as "Beyond the Sea," sung by Bobby Darin. This is from 1976, hence the disco vibe. I love it, but then, I belong to a different time.[youtube=http://youtu.be/HASYL4JWwBU]
