The Clock's Ticking

A few weeks ago we decided it was time to stop pretending that our Parisian adventure would never end, and we bought our return tickets home. (To Boston-area friends with SUVs: our flight back is June 2nd, and we'll get in around 4 PM. Would anyone be able to give us and our 200 lbs. of luggage a ride?)

Knowing exactly when we're heading home has motivated us to do all those things we've been meaning to get to for a while, and by things we mean visiting museums, parks, stores, restaurants, neighborhoods, etc. So far, the best way to plan has involved making lots of lists, and today we share those lists with you. If you have an opinion on any of the places or activities below, we hope you'll share it with us, since clearly we're going to need to prioritize!

We have 59 days left in Paris (excluding the two weeks total we'll be out of town over the next month), most of which I should spend finishing up research. How many items do you think we will (or should) end up crossing off this list?

  1. Atelier Brancusi is an absolute must, as far as I know. I haven't gone yet either - saving it for warmer spring days. We could go together in April, if you want :) Gros bisous!

  3. Ruxy - we should definitely hit up the Atelier Brancusi together! Maybe the first week in April?

    Dimi - You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Scratch "some" off the lists? In addition to this stuff, we have a whole separate list for you. It's going to be a fun week!
