ellenkushner: (WelcBORDERTOWN)

 Arrived in Paris at 8 am local time, 2 am NYC time (which is often when I go to bed - so you can imagine how much we didn't sleep on the plane - but paid extra on Air France for Premium Voyageur, and boy was it worth it!! 1 step down from Business at a fraction the cost - 10 steps up from Steerage! We love Air France).  Staggered onto RER to Gare du Nord & down endless corridor to Metro & finally found our friend's houseI meanapartement where she had croissants and raspberry jam waiting.  Devoured that, went to bed, got up & did what we usually do in the mornings as we come to:  e-mail & internet.  Only it's 6pm here, now - and soon Anne will return to walk us around the neighborhood, to make sure we know which is the good boulangerie (not, apparently, the one 2 doors down that I can see from the window) and take us to dinner.

Delia is sitting at the table with her laptop (WiFi is great here!) researching yarn stores in Paris. There are quite a few.  The hedgies have enjoyed some chocolate croissants. 

And I am here to tell you about the Bordertown Lives! Sweepstakes!

Trust me, you'll be glad I did.  And please help spread the word.

Had one of the gifts in the Sweepstakes been..."A fabulous week in Paris with Delia Sherman and Ellen Kushner" I would have not donated and done everything I could to win. Sadly, I left that universe in my other jacket. Le Sigh. I shall have to be content from here. Say 'ello to my ancestral homelands. If you get over to Condé-sur-Noireau, could you look up my Gérault cousins for me? Thanks, you're a dear. Have fun! Merveilleuse aventure!
