– OOH-LA-LA – 

May 9, 2005 – Three weeks from today I'll be in Paris! I'm spreading the word early because I hope to meet up with some Parisian Great Danes. If I can't find any Great Danes to photograph in Paris, I'm sure I can find other subject matter, but wouldn't it be wonderful to photograph some Danes?

Meet me in Paris
We'll be in Paris from May 29 until June 11. My husband will be attending, and speaking at, The Oceanography Society's annual International Ocean Research Conference. The meeting runs from June 6-10 at UNESCO headquarters, near the Eiffel Tower. We've taken an apartment on Boulevard Henri IV, just a couple blocks from the Seine. It's a super location right in the heart of Paris. A short walk to the metro station will take us anywhere we want to go. (Ooh-la-la!)

Why rent an apartment?
We're bringing my 20-year-old nephew with us. He's a history/art major who has never before been to Europe, so he's pretty excited. Due to the presence of my nephew and the length of our stay, it'll be far cheaper (and more fun) to live in a furnished apartment instead of booking at a Paris hotel. Our apartment, which is very roomy, provides a full kitchen so we'll be able to cook some of our own meals. We'll also have a washing machine and broadband internet service. The only thing that's missing is a dishwasher, but as my husband was quick to point out, there's no need to worry because we're bringing our dishwasher with us. His name is Eric.
