The Final List

I've been writing this list in my head for a few weeks and hope I can remember.

What I will miss about Paris:

• The sound of small French children speaking the language
• The efficient Metro system
• The culture and long history (museums, old buildings)
• Emphasis on the importance of slowing down to eat a meal
  
• The daily, year round outdoor markets
• Walking by the Seine River
• Speaking the language
• The utterly overwhelming cheese selections
• Musicians in the Metro system
• The divergence of so many cultures in one place
• Seeing the Eiffel Tower when you least expect to or aren't looking for it
• Amazing train options like Eurostar
  

What I will not miss about Paris:

• Annoying French teenagers on the Metro
• The smells of the Metro
• Produce that comes from Peru and far off places instead of locally grown options
  
• The crowds
