On April 1st, I left Florence for a while. I feel incredibly fortunate that I will be living in Paris next. Lifelong dreams, coming true, despite Covid, the Russian war, and the rest of life’s surprises.

I arrived at Charles de Gaulle in mid-afternoon, to find it snowing. Paris was a bit like a snow-globe as I taxied in from the airport to my new home in the 16th Arrondissement.

Bonjour Paris! So happy to see you! Bonne journee!
