Runaway...

All my life I've been always been a bit of a runaway...
Like Janet Jackson's song, Runaway..
When I was little, I ran away from homework and cleaning my room (I still do that). I loved to escape into books and my imagination. I dreamed of traveling the world, never thinking it would come true.
Sometimes I ran away to the penny candy store to browse and admire..

And now I get to do just that...
In Paris!
And I get to share all my adventures with you!

I never have gone up in the Eiffel Tower...

I am a little afraid of heights...ahem

Nor would I be inclined to take a flying leap off of anything!

I've seen the world
Been to many places
Made lots of friends
Many different races
I've had such fun
Around the world it's true...

(from Janet's Runaway)

But it sure is nice to come home...

Like Janet does in the song...

To her little dog.

Next week I'll get to meet "Blog" the dog in Paris, the beautiful pup of Christian - Le Banc Moussu and I can't wait.

Thanks again ParisBreakfast Readers for making all my wishes come true!

Are you a runaway too?

Et Merci
BON-WEEKEND!

  1. I do not care if you ARE afraid of heights, you MUST see Paris from the top of La Tour Eiffel at dusk. I am deathly afraid of edges but I do this every single time I am in Paris because it makes me cry. Just from the sheer beauty of it. Allow 2 hours to take in the whole experience. I just checked the time for sunset in Paris next week and it will be around 7:20 pm. Go up and watch the lights come on...
    Bon voyage, mon amie!

  4. Been thinking of your up coming "Escape from New York" to the "City of Lights". I can just about imagine how excited you must be, as I be would too ... I know your stay in Paris will be as fruitful and inspiring as previous trips, as you cram ever more images onto your hard drive.
    Bon Voyage!

    When we got to the Eiffel Tower, I forced myself to go up.
    I stooped down facing inwards with my eyes closed tight. Once up there I was hanging over the side. Please make yourself try it. The view is beautiful and you will be fine.Trust me, if I can do so can you.
    Don't run away this time.
    You have so much to give and the experience will be wonderful.
    Have a fun trip.

  15. I have a jack russel just like that! and yes i think each of us who loves traveling has a runaway spirit, to explore and be free. And im sure you've learned a lot since traveling and meeting new ppl!

  16. I have never been a fan of Janet Jackson.. however, you did a wonderful job of presenting this song of her's with your words to the images,,,, with all your beautiful photo's and watercolors of the Eiffel Tower, I wondered briefly why not from the top? You must give it a try like The Sabbatical Chef suggested a Tour of the Eiffel at dusk-- take Christian with you-- now I must go and see his surprise for you on his blog,,, Oh my wish I were there, too
    Safe and happy travels,
    Joanny

  17. Oh yes, I feel the same and arrived in Paris 2 days ago. I plan to revisit Le Tour this trip also. Go on a weekday so you can have your postcards postmarked from the post office there.
    Perhaps we will meet at lunch with Peter.

    Love them, maybe a Gauloise burning in an ashtray(only kidding), reading a lot of Alan Furst these days...
