I love Paris in the winter, when it drizzles






With all due respect to Cole Porter, it hasn't drizzled much this winter. Although winter was long in coming (when I returned from Austin on November 30, it was actually warmer in Paris than in Texas!!) now it has arrived in the best possible way. Near-freezing temperatures are made bearable by brilliant sunshine and little humidity. The sunsets have been incredible. And, they finally changed the Christmas lights on the rue du Commerce. Life is beautiful.
