It almost feels selfish to write in a notebook because I have postcars to write and facebook posts to make, stupid tweets about parisiens about how they really do carry around single baguettes, etc.  French people seem sweet, haughty, elegant, not-vain, tender hearted, and filled with savoir faire.

The little fruit stands everywhere are so beautiful and I love that that\u2019s their version of New York\u2019s ugly bodegas.  Everywhere has tiny little outside tables and the Parisian urge to linger is truly amirable.  Parisian women do not\u2014on average\u2014tend to wear a lot of makeup, which I found refreshing.  I\u2019m glad I came here for a reason and not ust to abstractly gawk, lol.  It adds a focal point.  Just idly \u201ctouristing\u201d would feel pretty stupid and empty.
