Hello Paris weather. What do you have plans for today? Rain, sun, wind, cool, warm, a little bit of everything all rolled into one? Because last week, we were freezing and the heat wasn't on in the building. The syndicate that owns our building kindly agreed to move up the date to turn it on only now it's plenty toasty without it. Boots or sandals? Well at least I own both.

About Me
For a long time, we were just another typical Washington, DC family: two policy-oriented jobs, two kids, and two cars. Out of the blue, my husband got a new assignment; we ditched the old jobs and the cars (but kept the kids) and headed to Paris for what started out to be a three-year, and eventually became a four-year tour.

Hoping that your weather turns cool enough that you are not toasting in your home. As long as I am "wishing" for you, let's get you some crisp clear skies for the week and through the weekend in Paris!

I always wonder how they pick these dates. The first time I moved to France I was living in a little studio on the grounds of one of the schools where I was teaching. The day I arrived, it was pouring down rain and very cold. I asked the lady upstairs how to work the radiator and she apologetically told me that the heat wouldn't be coming on for another week. Good thing I'd packed a sleeping bag!
Reminds me of the time that I made reservations for a hotel in Arles because it had a/c...It was April and France was having a heat wave, but it wasn't yet the 'season' for turning on the a/c!
I learn something new on every trip.
