Awesome write, Kristen except that Phoenix is spelled wrong in your title and I'd hate to see you passed over because of that if you put this in Mark's contest. Probably just a typo ... sometimes my dyslexia messes with me too ... smile

Read 'A Moveable Feast' if you haven't already done so... it's Hemingway's love affair with Paris. I still can't find any one of 'em!!! Your page references don't seem to work... Neatly arranged and expressed. Well done K! Love, me. PS try 'The Land Of Lip Service...' should give you a giggle...)
