The Paris sky has finally decided to shed its drab gray winter coat and allow the sun to shine down on the city. Winter has been cold and dark but the budding trees and singing birds give me great hope that a gentle Spring will soon take over.
I take a long, brisk walk from my apartment to Place de la Concorde this morning. It's a peaceful route along the Seine that leads me by ornate bridges, gilded palaces, and neatly clipped trees. The early sunlight drizzles gold on the rippling river, The Beatles chant Love in my ears, and my step is quick and light.
I stop for a moment to snap a photo of my path, one that is traveled often and relished always—especially under a brilliant sky of blue.
At the Place de la Concorde, I notice a grand statue I have never noticed before, one representing the city of Bordeaux. I smile at the reaffirming thought of Bordeaux waiting for me at the end of my journey.
