City of splendor
Paris is a city of splendor, of surprises, a show around every corner. A city never shy to outdo or outshine any other destination.
I set off walking today. My goal the Museum Moreau. It is far but I want to drink in every site the city can offer. I walk through the palais Royal and the beautiful gardens.

What is the advantages if growing older, if any?
One is, as a new book title claims, “the art of not giving a f@ck. ” And with that I mean not being bothered by things, like bigger houses and cars and things. Experiences mean more. I would rather see than have.
The other is to be able to form a bigger picture. Thousands of little pieces of information tuns, like a thousand puzzle pieces into a clearer picture.
One can implement experience into your daily lives, like knowing that you can not live another persons life, or make his decisions, or take their responsibilities.
Being able to know yourself and make peace with yourself, enable you to live in peace with others.

Birthday in Paris. Thanks for everybody’s good wishes. My day was really special. Paris has to be the best place for celebrating your birthday. Thank you to the beautiful special woman in my life that gave my day and my life sparcle.
After a late start and gifts we headed into town. We stopped at Shakespear and company for a browse through their selection of incredible books. The store was started by Sylvia Beach and was a haven for writers and artists in the early twentieth century. She helped writers like James Joyce to publish their books nobody wanted to print. Also Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and other new writers. On her own I think she did more for world litterature than any other person of the era. The shop still feels like a safe haven.
