Seville - my new favorite city, and our rooftop, my new favorite rooftop.  While there is still so much to discover and experience in Paris, it feels very much like home - and so lazying about, spending an afternoon drinking wine, reading and napping feels very wrong in Paris.  But not in Seville!  These photos were taken from our rooftop deck, right before I began that before mentioned nap.  It was warm, with a slight breeze and church bells ringing in the distance, ever so often.

These photos were taken by my dear friend from college, an amazing photographer, Andrea Dicenzo. She is a California girl, but has spent most of her years after college in New York and in London, snapping away to great acclaim.  Check out her blog here.  Also, don't let the sunshine fool you, these photos were taken before the new year.  I have been saving them for just the right time, like an Ace up my sleeve.  I am in Sevilla, Spain, escaping the freezing temperatures, drinking far too much wine, soaking up the sun and adjusting to Spanish time (which means slowing life down, way down).

Fancy Meanderings

When the weather is -8 Celsius, there is nothing better (and more French) than spending the day inside the first and most fancy department store, Le Bon Marche, followed with afternoon tea at Laduree.

Disclaimer: My oversized, down jacket is just out of the picture frame - Paris is far far below the freezing point.

My fiance's parents are in town, and we are visiting many of the less-traveled museums, often found in sleepy neighborhoods, or on the borders of Paris.  I think I like these places more than the world famous museums Paris is known for.  At the top of my list is the Musee Marmottan (housing more Monet's than I have ever seen in one room) and the Musee Jacquemart-Andre (a mansion in the middle of Paris, that was once an extremely wealthy couples home that they filled with incredible art).  If you have an extra day in Paris, they are definitely worth your afternoon.
