As I finish yet another year as an expat here in Paris, the most present lesson has been this: There is never a perfect time. Just start.

As I partake in my nth year in France and soon turning 30... ditto to this all.

http://momentsandmemoirs.com/expat-year-2 from Moments and Memoirs

"In French, when you talk about age, you use the verb avoir, to have. You aren’t 33, but you have 33 years. They belong to you. You have them, and with that comes the concept of earning them and being able to profit from the experience of these years, regardless of what they may have held. They aren’t just years that passed, but they are years you have in your history, your story. On the other hand, when you talk about today, a day or date, you use the verb être, to be. For example: What day are we today? We are the 29th of May. We are. And with that carries this nuance of being in the moment and then once you live those moments, you then collect them and add them to the rest of what you have."

Life learned and lessons lived as I've spent my second year in Paris and an American Expat!

A new metro map for Paris is revealed! Great for tourists and Paris lovers alike: http://metromap.fr/fr

We looked at Paris from a different prospective and it inspired us to create this fundamentally new map of Paris metro system, regional trains, and trams

Keep it up France! I love green roofs.

A new law recently passed in France mandates that all new buildings that are built in commercial zones in France must be partially covered in either plants

Two weeks ago we visited this little known museum in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower (and my mom, Marilyn's favorite!) focusing on indigenous art. Click on this photo and check out the following for a taste.

Musée du quai Branly features the indigenous art and cultures of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.

It is a special treat, if not just to enjoy the gardens and café and retreat from the crowds after visiting the Eiffel Tower (very near by).

Great for kids with special activites for them. It is a very large museum so you could easily spend a whole day there. I especially enjoyed the Americas portion. There are normally one or two special exhibits at a time. For example while we were visiting, they had a very avantgarde one on personification of objects.

RATP, those in charge of our metro, actually went and changed some of the signs in the metros for April's First (confirmed by friends who have been out of the house today ;p). I love Paris!

I concur... super cute! Finding as I progress more and more words that are specific only to English or French

I also love 'sacré [NAME]'. You use it in response to when someone does something very... them. A French "That's so Raven!"

French has many “why don’t we have a word for that?” words and even more that are just plain beautiful. Here’s a short list of my 9 favorite French words.

I could not agree more! Been blogging away... expect some new orderly messes posted this week!

Yes! Keep Traveling! I passed through Belgium just yesterday and the worst thing (and best thing) that happened to me was a giant naked cyclops statue on the side of the highway!

Following yesterday's attacks on Brussels, the US State Department issued a travel alert for Americans regarding "potential risks of travel to and throughout Europe." Does this mean we should stay home?

In a word: No. This is a travel "alert," not a "warning." The State Department reserves "warnings" for serious business: It means, essentially, "Don't go there." But an "alert" just means "Be careful." According to the State Department, "We issue a Travel Alert for short-term events we think you should know about when planning travel to a country."

Isolated terrorist events — 2004 in Madrid, 2005 in London, 2012 in Boston, 2015 in Paris — are as tragic as they are impossible to predict. With this alert, the State Department is simply confirming something we already knew: Going forward, it's possible that there will be more terrorist events in Europe (just as it's possible here in the United States).

Also, at frightening moments like this one, keep in mind that there’s an important difference between fear and risk. As the State Department recommends, while you're traveling, be vigilant. Be aware. Exercise caution. But at the same time, don't be terrorized. That’s exactly the response the terrorists are hoping for.

Brussels — and the rest of Europe — are, if anything, safer today than before yesterday's attacks. Security everywhere will be on high alert. But, unfortunately, many Americans will cancel their trips to Europe. As a result, ironically, they’ll be staying home in a country that loses dozens of people each day to gun violence.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Brussels, the victims, and their loved ones. As for me, I'm flying to Lisbon in ten days. And later this summer, I'm booked to fly out of the same Brussels airport that today is a shrine of grief and tragic bloodshed. Am I allowing myself to be terrorized by the terrorists? Hell no. It all comes back to my firmly held belief that the best way for Americans to fight terrorism is to keep on traveling.
