I have learned a few things while living away from New York and the US in general.
I have learned it is nice to have time. Just time in general and I have tried to use this time to get lost. And I mean supremely, ultimately, don't know which way is north, south, east, west, or homeward bound lost. In order to do this I take Pepe for a walk and we just wander. I have discovered the most amazing little streets, and shops this way. Paris is full of miraculous surprises big and small.
There are a quite a few upsides to this method of discovery, you never know where you are going to end up or what you are going to see. Since there are usually low expectations for getting lost this meandering stress free approach provides an optimistic view of a typically negative situation. However there are a few downsides, poor Pepe's little legs get tired very quickly so I end up carrying him most of the way home. But also since there is no set route to my wandering I very rarely remember where I have been.
But all in all I see some truly wonderful things and have always managed to find my way home.
Next time your here I suggest you take a few hours and get lost!
I mean that in the nicest way possible. Really I do.

ReplyDeleteSame here!! And I can just see Pepe's little legs getting so tired (or him faking it so you'll carry him) wandering around the city. Love you lots and lots!
