The countdown begins: 56 days!

Steve is excited to be participating in the European American Musical Alliance summer program for conductors, and I will be doing research for my masters thesis on 20th century composer Francis Poulenc. 

We have a place to live (an apartment in the Latin Quarter we are renting from a linguistics professor).

We have our plane tickets (spending every penny we budgeted for, unfortunately...).

Guidebooks (Rick Steves) are purchased, perused, and highlighted.

Leather walking shoes (Keene's) are broken in so I don't wear sneakers that scream "I'M AN AMERICAN!" 

Just 56 days to wait! ...and some details about the
Bibliothèque nationale to sort out since, oh right, I have research to do!

If you've been to Paris, what was your favorite moment? If you haven't been, what would you most want to visit?

  1. These days will pass quickly and you guys are heading for a "blast" of a good time. What a wonderful assistant to travel with.

  2. Versailles and Montmarte were my favorite places when I was there.
