Our 6th day in Paris. Beth and I got the exact same cold at the exact same time! This is remarkable because in 33 years of co-habitation it's never happened before. The same itch in the back of the throat growing into that icky burn moving north into the sinuses flooding us with snot, eyes watering in bright sun, dull headache throbbing, south to the chest, cough, cough cough. And guess what? We don't care! If this had been a 10 day vacation I would be fuming but given the seemingly infinite expanse of time ahead of us it barely registered on my meter of concern. We feel lucky that we got sick together. No secret recriminations. We are in synch!
Out illnesses has not kept us from seeing Pari either. Maybe our pace is a bit slower but we have seen and done a lot. We've walked and biked miles, visited markets and museums, eaten delicious things and had quite a few glasses of really good wine. It would be so easy to fall into a comfortable routine here but, because we are just starting out we are hungry for more exotic locales. It sounds corny but the road really does beckon. I am so excited about fading away into parts unknown.
