One of my most memorable memories of Paris was being serenaded on the Seine River by a lady who looked like she had stepped out of a jazz club movie set.
All blings from head to two with a voice of an angel, she sang famous french songs while the boat took us along the equally famed Seine river. Meanwhile, I fought my desire to sleep by vigorously cutting the steak on my plate and from the look of it, my cousin was in the same boat – pun intended.
Even with the grey sky and drizzles from the rain, it was a beautiful afternoon to ride along the Seine River. I guess that’s Paris for you.
I told my cousin how ironic it was that we were in the middle of the most romantic experience in our lives, and we couldn’t even keep our eyes open. She said something back, but I couldn’t hear her over the French melody coming out from the singer.
It has been more than a month, and I can barely remember whether the food served was good, but the moment has forever been etched in my mind.
