Paris Central

Kitty just read this amazing book by Adam Gopnik called Paris to the Moon. It's all about his experiences moving to Paris from New York. One of those books you can't put down because it is a very funny and very intelligent account of the cultural differences one encounters when you move to another country. Especially from New York to Paris! The author was just as in love with Paris as Natasha is (he has since moved back to New York), but the nuances of moving here and living here are a daily challenge at best. For now though, Kitty is basking on the glow of the Eiffel Tower which is almost a stone's throw from her apartment. Her kiddies call it their night light. Today she is off to the newly reopened Musee des Arts Decoratifs on Rue de Rivoli and tonight she gets to wear her new red Gucci platforms to a themed party. Rouge et Rose/Red and Pink and the men have to bring a rose. Even though it is grey and dark outside, the Parisians still know how to keep it alive.
