Friday Flashback: Celebrating New Year’s Eve in Paris

Grey, dreary, cold and wet.  That sums up Paris in the final days of 2008.

On the bright side, the city has lots of lights up for the holidays, and it presented the polar opposite experience I'd first had when visiting Paris in the peak of Summer ten years earlier.  And I was staying with a local, Laura, who I'd met on a train in India months earlier.
