À bientôt Paris.

Things started a bit slow this morning.  I was hoping to get out and about a little bit before heading to London, but it didn't work out.  Just packed up and headed to the train station.

I am always sad to leave Paris.  It is a city I never get sick of walking through and looking at.  I love going to places I've been before--Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre--and seeing them again.  Like old friends who you haven't seen in a while, but when you do it's like there's been no time apart.  And then there is always something new to see.  This time it was the Canal St. Martin and the street art in the 14th.  And there are things that I didn't get to do this trip or have never done...so there's a reason to go back (as if you need a reason).  So here are some things on my agenda for the next trip:

• Père Lachaise Cemetery
• Bois de Boulogne
• Marche aux Puces (a massive flea market)
• The Catacombs
• Versailles

I'd also like to go see a live show.  A band, not like a cabaret show. I'd like to find a new Bande Déssinée to fall in love with.  I'd like to have improved my French enough to hold decent conversations and not feel so damn uncomfortable speaking it.  Vive La France!!!
