In less than 8 days I will be on my way to France. I haven’t been there since I was about 12 years old so this is momentous. I’ve been listening to my French language CDs and even Szofi was enjoying listening to them when we’ve been driving around the past couple days – I may have even heard Calvin reciting some but I thought I was hearing things.
My trip is a gift from Lisa and our friends Kevin & Sue for my 40th birthday. I will be staying with my good friend Sean Wallace who has been house-sitting a manor in a village about an hour outside of Paris. My plans are to read, exercise, do watercolor paintings, drink good wine, take photos, and shoot video. I don’t think I’ll be blogging much from out there but who knows – supposedly this manor is WiFi equiped.
There is also a studio in Paris that I’ll be spending a few nights in. Sean has already set up a couple loose plans for us to go to a music festival and a party in the village but everything else is up in the air. We might stop by one of the Normandy D-Day beaches on the way back from the festival. What I really don’t have plans for is Paris, so if you have any ideas for me, please let me know! I don’t feel like spending 6 hours a day in museums but I would like to see part of the Louvre but not too much of it. Perhaps the catacombs? Leave me a comment or drop me a line. I’ll be gone for about 10 days from the 25th to the 4th. I have to make it back in time to present at the Online Impact forum at STCC in Springfield, MA on June 5th – which reminds me, I need to get my suit pressed.
