"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)!

How does it feel to be back in the U.S.?
Whenever I return to the US for the holidays, my family and friends always ask the question, "So, how does it feel to be back in the U.S.?" My response, is always "it feels great", after-all, I am American and the US will always be first and foremost my home.
These are my impressions or better yet, comparisons of my life in France, primarily in Paris as well as my life in the U.S., primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area and the Lake Tahoe area. When I first land in the US, my first impression is, we have such wonderful airports, even the ugliest ones are much, much nicer than CDG. I think I've mentioned in several different blogs that CDG airport works hard at being one of the top worst airports in the world.
