I love Paris in the Spring time.....

Okay ... so now that I am "living" in uptown / downtown Sandpoint rather than up the hill at Schweitzer, I am becoming more and more localized and LOVE IT.

As I was recovering last Friday from the 40th anniversary blow-out ... I went walking from the "new place" along 1st avenue and found myself at Arlo's (italian) for supper and live music with Ray Allen.  Good times, good times.  Vegetable primavera - for whatever reason, pasta was sounding so good and a glass of watery chianti (which was probably perfect given the prior day).  Finished up with supper and walked back down and past the Panida. 

The Panida has been restored - an old theater - and it shows movies, hosts concerts, plays and so on.  It was 740 and they were just about to close the box office.  Bought my little red ticket and shuffled into an ADORABLE lobby area and walked past the heavy velvet curtains into one of the most gorgeous theatres I have ever been into.  The movie (and subsequently the point of this blog) - was Woody Allen's latest "Midnight in Paris"

ADORE!  Loved, loved, loved it....

And it reminded me of that fantastic week of one of the best holidays of my life thus far.  Of course, this got me thinking about life and where I wanted to travel next, etc.  So I think I have made the decision that after this next stint in Buenos Aires, that I will return to Sandpoint for ski season at Schweitzer once more and then head to Paris for April - June and run ConsiliAgra from there. 

So a few items to note:  if you want to come to Buenos Aires and visit - mid-Sept thru mid-November will be your opportunity (as well as Thanksgiving) as I will be going to China in mid-November and then return to Bali in early December (and yes - it is all for work!). 

If you want to visit Paris - that will be April - June.  That is about 50% certain as working on securing an office / apartment site but thanks to a few lovely people that I've been fortunate to meet along the path of life, think that will be fairly easy. 

Just thinking of a new adventure - in a city as special as Paris - puts a little spring in my step... of course, the excitement to share Sandpoint with some of my favorites in one short week followed by a return to the Paris of South America... well, certainly there are worse things!

Go big or go home gentle readers!
