"The evolving Francophile..."

My husband Jack has always wanted to live in Paris and learn French. I thought it would be good for him to achieve his life time dream. Hence, we moved to Paris in 2008. My first year was difficult. I started "missives" to relieve some stress and chronicle my life so friends back in the US could read what I am experiencing. I currently write about food in Paris, which is my passion., travel experiences, and "experiences living in Paris."

It is definitely a challenge to live here, but each year it gets easier, and quite enjoyable, in large part because I value friendships over locale. I have a love/hate relationship with Paris as do most Parisians, mais La vie est belle (but life is good)!

"It's all Greek to me..."

As some of you may know, last year, with our good friend Bonnie, we started an Ethnic Dinner Club. With the exception of Jack and myself, most of the members are French willing to explore the vast numbers of ethnic neighborhoods and restaurants throughout Paris. We each take turns hosting (organizing) a dinner. In some cases, because of our group size we sometimes get discounts on our dinner and/or get special pre-fix menu for our "group." Some have been hits and some have been misses. All-in-all, we always have a great time exploring.
