My Best Day in Paris!!!

O.K. You're thinking did I go to the Louvre, climb the Eiffel Tower, or fall in love with some amazing Frenchman. Hell no, I went to Roland Garros to see the French Open Tennis Tournament! This is one of those days to be remembered forever! Many many steps involved in the process - like getting an eticket & then finding an Internet cafe to print it. Then figuring out which metro trains get there & then which way to walk after leaving the train. I could only get a grounds ticket, which meant not sitting in the big three stadiums, but waiting in line for one that might have some good matches and it did! What was so cool was feeling as though I was at the United Nations and meeting people from all over this great world. Communicating & becoming friends when you can't even find a common language. There were moments when I would just pinch myself & say, "I'm at the French Open". I've been watching this tournament for years - you can ask Kim, since last year I dragged her to a bar (well I didn't really have to drag her), just to watch Nadal play Federer in the French Open! So, if you are a tennis fan, I would put this on your list of things not to miss. I would come back to Paris just to go to Roland Garros!
