Music Outside My Window
I was reminded today in my bedroom one of the reasons I think Paris is a beautiful city ... the music. I had the radio on, but it was drowned out by the sound of a small band of three musicians playing Glen Miller's In The Mood song. My kids are the first to ask for change to race downstairs, open the door and run down the street (not crossing!) to give the men some change for their music playing. It's one of the wonders of life in Paris and I'll miss it. My family and friends tells me it will be a big change when I move back to the US because you never let your children out of your sight there. Is the US that unsafe anymore? No worries about testing this since, in my 30-something years in the US, I never had anyone play music outside of my window.
