Thank you doesn't seem enough to pass along for taking me to Paris and croissants. The vivid language used to describe your seating is glorious. As I sit here languishing in the heat of Portland, OR, and the nausea side effects of chemotherapy, I felt left out of vacationing this summer until I read your piece.

What an elegant piece of writing. You take us right there on that bench with you, enjoying the stillness.
