Paris chic:
The idea of the parisienne chic is something of a cliché, but when I
first visited Paris it appeared to me that it had some basis in fact:
the city seemed to have more than its fair share of well-groomed,
well-dressed women. It no longer appears so.

You should visit Milan, maybe Milan is the new Paris.


And then home to contemplate our next trip (Madrid).


It'll be interesting to see what you make of Madrid, on four business trips
there I saw no reason to go back as a tourist.

(But there was a very good Mexican restaurant just off the main square).
