And no, I'm not talking the ones in our sleep. I think we all have those dreams. The ones that you think will never come to fruition, the ones that seems so far out of reach that they are just that...dreams. I have a few of those and have decided they need to be fulfilled. I know some may never come true (living in Ireland per say), but I can definitely attempt some of them. The first up to come true...Paris!
That's right, I have always dreamed of spending a few weeks in Paris just wandering and exploring the city and it's surrounding areas. The French culture has always fascinated me and I am finally going to go immerse myself in it. I'm not going until the Spring but am so beyond excited about this decision that I had to write about it now. It's not the sophistication or the fashion that intrigues me, it's their sense of tradition and family. The fact that even though they put on their airs, they are extremely simple people. The things important to them don't seem to be as important to us anymore. The time spent with family, long leisurely lunches, walking everywhere and not worrying about the time. We live in such a rushed society nowadays that we all seem to forget to stop and enjoy the wonder around us.I can hardly wait to arrive in the magical city and wander the streets and museums and take in the culture...not to mention jumping on a train to the outlying villages and towns and take in the history..
Now, I just have to brush up on my French!! Oh well, I have 8 months to do it in!
