Where am I?

Hong Kong?? Beijing?? nope... still in Paris. There is a relatively large Chinatown with a huge amount of shops and some decent food especially Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese but nothing close to what you can experience in San Francisco, San Jose, Orange County and from what I hear Vancouver, B.C. One more day and I'll be flying home!

Paris, Books and Bread

Watch out for some new rubber stamps and new collage sheets to come soon... I found a bunch of very old books and turn of the century trade cards at this Market for Old and Used Books held in Paris each weekend!

Breads and pastries from Max Poilane one of the world famous brothers Poilane breadmakers. I did indulge in the most buttery, moist and fattening Pain au Chocolat I have ever tasted!!!

Paris (Vincennes) in January

The Chateau de Vincennes, a medieval castle from the 12th century has the highest dungeon in France. Here is an early morning shot from my Mom's apartment. Vincennes is the last subway station on Line 1 in Paris.... brrr... I was freezing my bootie on the terrace to take this picture!
