Taking off for a winter holiday in Paris soon, first time in France…so I wondered, is there any way I might immerse? The fountains and the Seine would be far too cold. But voila! There are indoor pools! Sure there is plenty to do in Paris (I hear :0), but I think I’ll sneak my suit, googles and cap into my suitcase and make at least one water immersion part of my pilgrimage. Article about pools of Paris in the NY times.

I also plan to write (or just post a photo) about water in many forms, in wine, for example. And cafe’! And no doubt the rain will fall on us–as Owen Wilson says in Midnight in Paris…”actually, Paris is most beautiful in the rain”. I will keep repeating that as a mantra until I believe it! If you have ideas on where else I might notice and immerse my mind/heart in water in Paris (and Amsterdam), do let me know. Looking forward to those canals of Amsterdam too!

Immersion can also be just sitting, listening, enjoying, being in the moment with the waters of the world. Wonder. Awe. I researched how to post on this blog with only my iPhone, so words may be scanty but I’m sure pictures will be worth a thousand words. Au revoir!
