London + Paris

What cities do you want to visit?

As dynamic and spectacular as each of these cities appears, there is nothing like perusing the streets or arrondissements in order to discover a new bistro, shop or gallery. I want a return visit to London for their afternoon tea or visit the Borough Street Market for food items I cannot find at home such as chutneys, English mustards along with delectable wedges of Morbier and Stilton.  

Upon returning from our last trip to Paris, I did my best to review notes on every aspect and feature of the city that caught my attention. The most memorable facet of our stay was dining at the Brasserie du Louvre located in the 1st arrondissement. They do a Sole Meunière which is prepared and fileted at your table. I’ve been striving to recreate this recipe, but I must return for further research into their preparation or flavors …. other than the melted butter or lemon.

Travel stylishly,

Evening Sunset

I find when life piles up and I can’t deal with one more problem or issue …… I take to the pavement, and nothing beats an evening walk to end a trying day. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy my morning hikes throughout the neighborhood, but there are so many people about ……. dog-walkers, other walkers, kids going to school or lawn crews removing the last remnants of fallen leaves.

Walking in the night air this evening the sun went down …. quickly, and while scanning the sky there was an absolutely gorgeous sunset emblazoned against the clouds. The brightest of colors circling the atmosphere as the sun set was a phenomenal display.

As I navigated the streets I could see my neighbors working on their holiday displays. Quite a few houses were already stunningly decorated with each block looking like the Vegas Strip.

“There’s a time of the day
When the sun is going down
That’s the golden time of day”
Golden Time of Day by Maze and Frankie Beverly

Stay stylish,
