I guess I can understand not liking Paris. It’s crowded, they speak a strange language, have strange customs and the residents are to the rest of France like NYC residents are to the rest of the US. And these days you can actually get a pretty pedestrian meal there, if you eat where the tourists dine. And some pretty dodgy neighborhoods have developed including a lot along the train route from CDG Airport to the center of the City.

But if you can look beyond these surface things to the beauty and history of the place you can see what those among us that love the place concentrate on. I get there a lot. My middle son lives there. Every time I leave, I am saddened that this might have been my last trip there.

The only place I have ever been pick-pocketed was in Barcelona. And the diversion they used was so clever, that I almost didn't mind. I hated they took my money, but I marveled at the professionalism. I considered the loss as low cost tuition. Don't travel in Europe without a money belt. Keep your passport in the hotel safe.
