I&#8217;m super excited to finally be in Paris again!! I didn&#8217;t know how much I missed it here until I almost jumped out of the\u00a0taxi bringing me home from the airport. I tapped my feet all through the cab ride. I couldn&#8217;t wait to get home. Why was there traffic? Why wasn&#8217;t the cab moving fast enough? I got so anxious I really didn&#8217;t mind wheeling two suitcases up the highway\u00a0just so I could be\u00a0home quicker.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8767\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Pont Alexandre III Paris Photographed by Armenyl.com\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>The weeks leading up to this were overwhelming and stressful. I spent most of my time lost in my thoughts, so much that there&#8217;s a huge part of me that hasn&#8217;t quite grasped the fact that I&#8217;m here now and not dreaming. You hear people talk about situations so unreal they felt like they&#8217;ve been dreaming and you don&#8217;t believe it until you wake up in France, still slightly disoriented, unsure of if you really awake\u00a0or still in a really good dream. <em>Is everyone real?<\/em>\u00a0Okay, I will stop there because you&#8217;ve either gotten the point or you are slightly annoyed or both.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8766\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/3-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Pont Alexandre III Paris Photographed by Armenyl.com\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/3-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_.jpg 800w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/3-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/3-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/3-Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I spent last night\u00a0taking walks down the streets of Champs Elysees, one of my favorite places here in Paris. The people and streets\u00a0were the same. The ticket vendor that sat in the booth at the metro \u00a0station was still there with the same bob haircut from two years and in the same pair of purple glasses that did very little to hide her\u00a0irritation\u00a0when I asked her for the thousandth time: \u00a0<em>which was cheaper, to recharge my metro pass for the half the week\u00a0or buy individual tickets<\/em>. Her answer was still the same. Nothing had changed. The air was very much like I left it, but it still all felt quite difficult to grasp.\u00a0And then today, somewhere in between waiting for a bus to go my next show and seeing the beautiful sun set over Pont Alexandre, I made the last minute decision to skip the show and watch the sunset. I&#8217;m so happy to be here&#8212;I thank God!<\/p>\n<p>It is pretty difficult for me to articulate how I&#8217;m feeling right\u00a0now. \u00a0I&#8217;m a ball of emotions! lol! So I will revisit this later. In the mean time, I hope you enjoy these photos from today.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8768\" src=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_.jpg\" alt=\"Pont Alexandre III Paris Photographed by Armenyl.com\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pont-Alexandre-III-photgraphed-by-Armenyl.com_-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pinch me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[636,49,102,75,112,8],"tags":[190,37,805],"class_list":["post-8763","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-calendar","category-feature","category-love-armenyl","category-petit-mot","category-postcards","category-travel","tag-love","tag-paris","tag-pont-alexandre-iii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8763"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8806,"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8763\/revisions\/8806"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/armenyl.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
