there's something awesome in the state of Denmark

The Danes have a good life-they're tall, blond, and beautiful in a country surrounded by water (and composed of islands) plus they use more candles than any other country. But what most impresses me about them is that, at least in Copenhagen, everyone bikes everywhere! Rain or snow apparently. I have a good friend from said city and I remember when he first told me his family didn't even own a vehicle, I was shocked. Plus, if you don't even own your own bike (or you're just visiting there) you can use any of the free city bikes as long as you want- just pay a deposit and you get it back when you return it. That's smart.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, and best of luck to all of you who are crazy enough to attempt shopping on Friday. I am off to visit some family for a lovely meal and good company. My aunt always prepares the best vegetarian dishes so I'm thoroughly excited. I made a delicious cranberry white chocolate walnut pie tonight so my stomach is just aching to get a slice of that. Pictures posted soon!

Love- Parisian Fille.

restaurant with a view

Imagine eating a meal 50 meters in the sky, surrounded by breathtaking views of the world's finest cities. Well, this is actually a possibility through events in the sky- a company specializing in elevating diners to incredible heights and serving the finest breakfasts, lunches, dinners, cocktails, or even poker nights. How amazing...
