The Great Escape to France

The Great Escape

Just Me and Paris

I am 56 years old, turning over the school I created to the "younger ones", divorcing my husband and just plain running scared.  So what do I do? Set off on my own for France! Here is how it all started.

It all started when I found a website for a writer's retreat in Paris.  pariswritersretreat.com.  That sounded good to me, a week in Paris, and quite possibly I could find out if my writing was worthy of pursing putting my story into words.

Somewhere between deciding to go and starting the plans for the trip, my marriage fell apart.  The trip we were going to share became one I was going to take on my own.
