El Paso: I love El Paso. It’s a place where you can breath because of the vast openness of the desert, where the stars are as big as ripe apples and you feel that you can just reach out and pluck one from the sky. I see the beauty that surrounds this border town, but […]

“Rude-nella” Opps! Lunella Restaurante New York City
January 24th, 2010 · By Lynn
Okay, so another person came up with the name, “Rude-nella”, describing Lunella’s restaurant in Little Italy, but the name is so appropriate when talking about the place, I just had to use it!
We had been walking all day, from the Statue of Liberty to the financial district, over to Ground Zero, Chinatown and finally making […]

Cirque du Soleil - Banana Shpeel
November 1st, 2009 · By Lynn
The one time I was fortunate enough to see the Cirque du Soleil, it was their show Alegría, which means joy or happiness in Spanish. A very appropriate name indeed!
If you’ve ever been to the Cirque du Soleil, then you know it’s more than just a show and nothing like you’ve ever seen! Their troups […]

The Blood Of Flowers - A Great Read
October 13th, 2009 · By Lynn
Have you ever wondered what makes you pick up one book and pass by another? Is it the cover of the book - or the title that catches your eye? Do you read what others are saying about the book on the back, or what the story is about on the the jacket; or do […]

Geraldine Larrosa As Inez In Zorro
August 13th, 2009 · By Lynn
After all my drama(!)….. on a lighter note, it’s good to have Geraldine back in France! Yes she’s busy rehearsing, looking for an apartment, and catching up with a lot of our old friends, but I’m sure all you Geraldine Larrosa fans already know that she’ll be playing the role of Inez in the musical comedy […]

Billy’s Blog - A Void
July 11th, 2009 · By Lynn
As I commented on Billy’s blog (Billy’s Lines of Gibberish) I’m always learning new and interesting facts from many of the posts that he writes. His latest post happens to be about the French writer, Georges Perec who wrote a 300 page novel back in 1969 called La Disparition which was translated into English as […]

Hungry Woman In Paris vs. Chez Moi
May 7th, 2009 · By Lynn
Chez Moi:
I don’t usually compare books when I do a book review of something I’ve read, but these two books have so many similarities, yet nothing in common, that I just had to write about both of them simultaneously. (I know it’s an oxymoron, but it fits here perfectly.)
I first read Chez Moi by Agnès […]

Favorite Kahlil Gibran Quotes
April 21st, 2009 · By Lynn
Maya Muses: I think I have just about every book that was ever written by Kahlil Gibran. The poetic way he expresses himself about the mundane circumstances of life is anything but to a soul on a quest for more!
On prayer:
“You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness […]

French Elle - Au Naturel
April 16th, 2009 · By Lynn
Eight European stars are featured in this month’s issue of French Elle! I think it’s a wonderful idea of finally showing women without makeup, and more importantly, without any retouching, airbrushing, or photoshopping done to their photos! No, I’m not talking about photographs circulated by the paparazzi when a star is caught in the most unflattering […]

97 years ago today, on April 15, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg and the rest is history! For 97 year-old Millvina Dean, she, too, was in the midst of all the chaos that happened that fateful night. Millvina has no recollection of the events that took place for the simple reason, she was only 9 […]
