A Lady In France

When a Blogger Comes to Paris

When a blogging friend comes to Paris – whom you’ve known for over two years online (and with whom you’ve already had two aborted attempts to meet up in the past, except that you couldn’t manage to extricate yourself from the daily grind) – you get over your hermit tendencies, and you GO INTO PARIS!

friend01You go to the Champs Elysées, to be exact.

friend11The Ladurée restaurant on the Champs Elysées, to be exacter.

This is Ameena.

friend05Do you know her? She blogs at Fancy That, Fancy This in a funny, sardonic tone that doesn’t entirely hide her generous heart. (She will protest about the generous heart part, but there you have it). And yes, she is as gorgeous in real life as she is online.

We studied the menus.

friend06She ate the bread, while I drooled.

friend08(Just teasing you, Ameena – I made up for it with some stale gluten-free bread at home).

friend09She ate a salad with crab meat.

friend10I ate a salad with artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes.

friend07We drank water with our salads, like good French people should.

And we chatted as if we had known each other forever. If you want to have a glimpse into our conversation, just read Ameena’s blog. She’s pretty much the same in real life as she is online . . .

Here’s to blogging friendships!

    You are unbelievably generous with your kind words Jennie! I do not deserve such a great post.

    I had the most fantastic time chatting with you! I can’t wait to do it again.

    Thanks again for making the trek. Means a lot that you gave up your hermit tendencies for me. 🙂

    PS : I kept thinking we should have taken a picture with the two of us…Ali confirmed I am an idiot for not doing so.

    Sorry about that. 🙁
