Part IBonjour (bohn-ZHOOR), everyone! I just got back from our vacation in Paris, and there is so much to share! Given the countless number of blogs discussing “things to do in Paris,” I wanted to share with you my own personal experience. With time, we get a little too comfortable with our preconceptions towards the rest of the world and the French are no exception. There is no doubt the French have had their influence on American culture. It’s no wonder we hold such preconceived notions about what to expect. It’s not just that, though. What image of Paris do magazines, blogs, and television build in people’s mind? I expected to see models and fashion icons as I walk down the streets, and had thought it would be overwhelmingly glamorous and runway worthy. Except, when I went there, I was confused. I saw no such thing. However, this city reassured me that first impression is not always the last impression. Paris is not what I had thought. It’s better.
