How to Live Well: Lessons from the French

I arrived in Paris yesterday evening and this is what I've learned so far.

Drink Beaujolais - even at lunch. Be unafraid of butter and cheese and croissants. Drink strong coffee. Kiss on the street. Wear lovely shoes. Shop on side streets away from the big labels and tourist traps. Lounge on a park bench with your eyes closed and enjoy the sun. Observe proper etiquette. Greet shopkeepers and waitstaff with 'bonjuor' and 'ouvre' when coming and going. Walk arm in arm. Finally, when you're tired after a long day of walking...take the metro.

Hi Jolene. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Did you pick up some of those lovely shoes. We are leaving tomorrow night for Jamaica. We should be able to catch up with you anyway at the resort. We look forward to your little blurps.
Take care, God Bless and have fun.

Kelly:

I love it!!!!
