Paris, city of light, city of love...

Paris, city of light, city of love... 

I have a long overdue date with this beautiful city. A few years back I was planning a trip with a dear friend and before we were able to go she past away and I never thought about going after that. I have the misconception that I don't like big cities and after some research I realized that Paris is not that big. I also told myself over and over that I was unable to understand French, even though I always had contact with the language with many dear people in my life. So I think I overcome all my own barriers and I decided that I was going and that I was to learn French. I went to the library and took a couple of courses and I am surprised how easy this language is to me. Is not a foreign language at all. As I am fluent in English and Spanish, it is a matter of awaken a listening comprehension and just try to speak with my best French accent and that guttural sound that I learned from my Dutch lessons.
