It only took one afternoon of walking the streets of Paris to appreciate the romance of the city and to understand why people from outside France would want to live there. There's beauty and mystery around very corner.
Take a walk along the Seine, cross one of the many bridges, stand at the Place Concorde and look up the Champs Elysees toward the Arc de Triompohe, start each morning with a fresh croissant and take a mid-day break for an espresso at a cafe. This is a life anyone could quickly get used to.
Ah, but them someone brings you the bill and breaks the reverie: $4 for coffee with cream, $12 for a vodka and tonic, $2.50 for "Coke-a Light," $68 for a taxi to the airport. It's soon time to return home to earn more money . . and save for another trip to Paris.
