Paris Then and Now

Saturday, August 24, 2024

In doing research for my upcoming memoir, I discovered a letter that Jeffrey wrote to me in high school. He said, “I want to take you to Paris. In the beginning, we won’t be able to afford much so maybe we’ll go camping. Hopefully, the next time, we will have enough money to stay in a hotel and maybe someday we’ll even be able to rent an apartment.”We actually did go to Paris in 1971 on a four-month camping trip. If someone had told me then that 50 years later I’d come back with the Today Show to report on food at the Paris Olympics, I would have thought they were crazy!! I still can’t believe I could take the Today Show crew to visit some of the original places I discovered from that camping trip, including Poilane Bakery and the Raspail Market.

I hope everyone enjoyed watching the games this year!
