Looking backwards and forwards to Paris and Siena

Siena, Italy

This past week in Providence has provided us with a serious hint of spring -- warm temps this past weekend and rain this Monday morning to wash away the last dump of snow barely a week ago now. Frankly, weather is incredible. Or maybe its just the climate change General Motors has been promising now for so long.

Whatever it is, the warm weather here in Providence has us thinking of April in Paris.

Susie leaves this Saturday evening and I follow her three weeks from this coming Friday. She will have Sunday to catch her breath, do some shopping and see if the neighborhood around Rue General Renault has changed since we were there last September. Monday she's back in class -- this time language class at Alliance Francaise on Boulevard Raspail.

Aside from the wonders we experience just by having the good fortune to live in Paris for a few weeks, we do have some incredible adventures lined up -- no, not bungee jumping or skydiving or free diving for that matter. Nothing quite so dramatic. Just touring the European countryside, visiting friends in Siena and Mouchon, maybe drinking Barbaresco in Barbaresco, eating incredible food wherever we go. That's the hope of course.

More to come. Until the fat lady sings.
