Amitié (Friendship)

Real "amitié" lasts a lifetime. Lisa Pace is one of my dearest life-long friends. We met when we were 15. Back in the day we were silly high school girls always scheming for adventure. Our lives have changed a lot since then, but we still have a wonderful time no matter what we do or where we are. Considering we were in Paris to celebrate our 40th birthdays I think we definitely know how to live it up! Saturday morning we took the 6:30am train and tried to find some new flea markets in Paris. We found flea markets, but most of them were swarming with fleas...after a couple of hours and several subway rides we opted for the "tourist traps". We both loves art and Lisa knows so much about it. I loved visiting the Louvre with her and being taught a little art history along the way. Since it was just the two of us we moved fast. We were able to see a lot of the Louvre and the Impressionist section at the Musee de Orsay, Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower at night, the Opera House, walk along the Seine AND we had a great break at Angelina's for that famous hot chocolate. Were we tired by the end of the day? Maybe, but given the chance I think we'd do it all over again. Thanks for visiting Lisa. Here's to more of life's adventures in the coming years!
