I had to get back to the States for Jonathan's birthday so I spent the short connection to Paris bending a poor Parisienne's ear about how much I would miss them and the flight over the big pond reflecting on what a wonder life is. Being in the US was surreal and I was glad to see family and friends but my very skin was on fire with the need to be back in the arms of miei carissimi.
They felt the same so we made another plan to meet up in Barcelona and Venice!
