Bonjour, mes dames!
Hello ladies,
I just wanted to write a quick hello from the internet cafe outside the modern art museum in Paris! We’re having a fabulous time – just back from a restful weekend in the wine country near Bordeaux, where I have cousins, and we’ve checked into an adorable little hotel in le Marais, which might be my favorite Parisian neighborhood yet. Why? We walked by an Anny Blatt yarn store on the way over! We were too hungry to stop at the time, but after stuffing ourselves with falafel we’re quite revived and I’m planning a trip for tomorrow. La Droguerie calls, too, of course! And there’s even a cute bead store around the corner from our hotel. Mr. Garter wants you all to know how thrilled he is… Oh well, I’ll know how to amuse myself while he’s ogling Napoleon’s stuffed horse in the Musee de l’Armee tomorrow.
A bientot!

Oh boy how I wish I were there instead of under 2 feet of snow! I’m glad you guys are having a wonderful time…although we did miss you on friday!

I went for the first time to La Droguerie right by the Centre Pompidou when I was 13, and fell in love… It’s a tiny, gray street, with a bright colorful shop! Delightful.
And I know exactly which Anny Blatt store you mean! The last time I was in the Marais, my family refused to wait for me, so I couldn’t even go in.

So jealous! The first time I had falafel was in le Marais with friends who were studying abroad, and I’m convinced it was the best I’ve had since. Can’t wait to see pictures.

Sounds like you and Mr. Garter are having a fabulous, Frenchy time. You missed out on almost 30 inches of snow here though, so don’t start missing us too much!
I MUST do some traveling…

I can’t imagine a more perfect alternative to where I’m sitting right now. Falafel, yarn and stuffed horses! Enjoy every second and keep posting so we’ll remain very, very jealous.

Sounds like you are having a great time – enjoy your trip to La Droguerie, and I’ll keep an eye out for you during my obsessive watching of the Olympics.
