As it happens, finding the means to keep TAORM consistently updated has proven difficult. For one thing, sitting in front of a computer screen is not the way time should be spent over here. Secondly, finding a monitor worthy of such attention is impossible. This French keyboard is WHACK and will not suffice as I intend to keep these updates detail intensive and longwinded. When the opportunity arises, however, I will be translating the sixteen (literally) pages of handwritten verse into this electronic format. Just a matter of time.
Currently situated in Paris, we are looking forward to some serious sightseeing. Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Monet museum, and other such attractions today. Day trip to the historic beaches of Normandy and hopefully Versailles tomorrow. France, unexpectedly I will confess, could steal the show if things continue to go as smoothly as they have. Since our arrival in Lyon, the people, food, accommodations, and activities have been superb. With no hotel reservations in Lyon or Chamonix, we hardly expected things to turn out so well. Lyon is a beautiful city and deserved more of our time; we only spent one night there en route to Chamonix.
Before even stepping off the train in the Chamonix-Mont Blanc area, it was pinned as a "must-return" destination. A geological wonder, ski town (frighteningly reminiscent of Aspen), and outdoorsmen's dream, our love affair was a foreshadowed and destined. Hiking, climbing, cliff jumping, eating, drinking, and sleeping occupied our entire two and a half days there. My sincere apologies to the Alps - you deserve more attention than that, but I promise, I will be back, oh, I will be back.
Bonjour, Paris. Let's do this.
