DJ Mermaid is learning French now.
Dj’s dream paradise
by DJ Mermaid
Bonjour mes amis!
Every mermaid/DJ has to have her own get-away! Mine happens to be on an entirely different continent.
As you may have guessed, we have arrived in Paris, France!! (Not really, but in the post we have, OK?) My dream itinerary for Paris and the rest of France goes something like this:
Day1: Get off plane and go freshen up at the hotel (make sure hotel bed has view of La Tour Eiffel and call the window bed before Mommy does). Have a picnic under La Tour Eiffel consisting of four things: bread, wine, cheese, and assorted box of macaroons. Ride up to the top of La Tour Eiffel and take a ridiculous selfie!
Day 2: Go to La Louvre and see statue that Daddy fell asleep in front of when he was in Paris once before and other historic paintings/sculptures. Take a Stroll down La Champs-Élysées and see the jewelry they have for sale (I would like an emerald ring engraved with lilies of the valley). Go out to dinner at a famous bistro and order deux chose: A ham and fromage sandwich (or croquet monsieur) and a chocolate hazelnut crepe.
Day 3: The French countryside: Go to a charming little shop and get some escargot (snail) and green bean stew/dish. Take a class on how to make a croissant — a buttery, flaky pastry authentically French. Go to Versailles — King Louie the 14th’s lavish and extravagant palace. Take a train ride back into Paris
Day 4: Take le Metro up to Montramarte – the artist district that has a lot of fabric stores, and buy a blue silk embroidered with white doves. I will also buy some French makeup and Chanel’s No.5 perfume.
Day 5: Final Day in Paris. Go to Palace Luxemburg. GO HOME!!
Well, that’s the end of my 6th post.
You certainly are an adventurous little mermaid! The croissant part made me hungry. I’m gonna go fix some dinner! Happy Easter!!
An adventurous and joyous choice of getaway! I’m certain you will capture their hearts, just as you’ve captured ours with your spirited writing! I wonder what that blue silk fabric with the embroidered doves will become…
Love your writing, and thanks for sharing your adventures and dreams with us!
Funny, Pappou: I asked Dj Mermaid the exact same thing when we met on Friday: the image was so beautiful, I wondered what she’d do with the fabric. Her answer then? “I don’t know.” .
