Paris is indeed beautiful and I can see how it would inspire you, with the resident ghosts you were looking for. The city that has been in my heart for over 40 years is Salzburg. Perhaps that's because it is the first European city I visited. I found it lovely and rich in history and music. I haven't been back in 40 years, but have hopes and plans of visiting again in the spring, finally returning to where I formed lifelong friendships and began my European holiday excursions.
What a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for sharing this. I felt like I was right there with you in Paris. I also loved your thought at the end about how expectations can ruin a journey for us. I started thinking about that in an even broader context...all the ways expectations can color our every experience. It left me pondering what it would mean to do away with expectations altogether (if such a thing were possible). I love me a good pondering, so thank you for that! 🤗
I love Ireland, except for driving on, for me, wrong side 🙈. But Paris is my to-go-to city. When I'm in Paris, I can relax. The city inspires me to savor my moments. While in NYC I rush and live in a fast-paced environment, in Paris time stands still. 🩷
