I had an amazing time at Nadja Lancelot’s silk painting workshop in Buxy, France. The whole area was postcard perfect. There was so much to see that I only had time to complete 2 paintings. No regrets. I don’t think I’ve ever had as much wine as I drank this week. Fred, I’m sorry to say I wasn’t converted…except maybe to the Crèment with Violette.

World’s best foie gras… wish they hadn’t told me how it’s made

My first ever Aperol Spritz was yummy.

Hilarious. My choice was narrowed to 2 items. Even their sorbet had trace amount of milk so I couldn’t have that. Had an Aperol Spritz for dessert, mmmmm

A minor substitution made the salmon salad edible — switched the mozzarella to chèvre

Lexi was the only one who left disappointed

Absolutely worth seeing, but if you’re tall, claustrophobic, extra sensitive to the supernatural, or can’t walk down (then up) 131 steps, you might want to reconsider.

Gong Bath room at Zen & Sounds. An awesome experience. I’m hooked!

The Marais — felt at home in the gay-borhood. Loved seeing my queer family.

Streets of Gay Paris

Fell in love with Olivier Massebeuf’s art

Swing dancing in the streets

Even when it’s this empty they have a bit of an attitude when they ask if you have a reservation. So French, LOL

Random architectural beautiful

Road the boat bus on the Seine

Had quite the adventure on this vintage Citroen tour

It was weird walking past the guy using the urinal to get to the other half of the unisex bathroom

I guess they get a lot of people who are used to squat toilets
