A person who reads is never bored, but rather entertains the ideas of the world. Reading is recreational, educational, ethical, inspirational, imaginative and artistic. It aids in the development of the mind and the spirit. The written word is one of our greatest inventions.

City of Lights juin 2009
A mother and daugher holiday in the City of Lights was just enough
to make us want to return another time for another season. The architecture was grand beyond any expectation. City parks are designed for people to use - lunches, rendez-vous, mothers strolling babies, business people on the bicyles as they commuted to work. Mastery of the metro was easy enough, even with suitcases in tow. Our little apartment was located close to Le Louvre and had a small balcony which allowed us to overlook Place Colette with its fountain and cobblestones. A trip to Versailles still makes us remember The Sun King with fondness, while motocycles and tour buses lined up outside.
