Going back.....couldn't stand it.......

OK going back. Couldn't wait. Came home, saw everyone graduate, and then I lost it the same day and made a plane reservation. This has not been without great trepidation or problems, but it is done. It's still cool in Paris, which will be a relief after Valencia's heat. Here I look at the sky and see the palm trees, and imagine the trees that lined rue Cambronne in Paris - all coming into green when I was last there. I miss it and I miss it badly. This time I am staying in the 17e. Still not a heavy tourist spot, thank God. Have three days of concerts at the end of July in the 7e with Kamil Tchalaev. It's all good. Going to finish the book...if not in July, in August when I go to PAF near Reims to write. That's the last chance I am giving myself. It's been 8 years and that is long enough! Here are photos of my new neighborhood for this long visit....Epinettes. And then to PAF for part of August. It will be so sad to have to leave again; my heart is already heavy with the thought.
