The One Thing that Makes Paris Not Feel so Good

Cherish simplicity

 

Not the rain in August.

Not the dark skies and cold wind.

Not my favorite restaurants being closed.

Knowing friends are nearby and haven't been able to see them.

Not the long lines.

Or the tens of thousand tourists admiring Monet's water lilies.

No none of that makes Paris feel bad… the only thing that does was when I was feeling sick on the public bus, spending every ounce of energy holding on long enough so I could get off the bus and throw up.

Sorry Paris for the you know what in the garbage can.

24 hour flu??

  1. The feeling is intensified by the stress of not wanting to be ill in public. I remember sweating profusely whilst trying to not only get off the public transport system but also home where I promptly collapsed.
    Poor you, feel better soon.

  2. oh no I hope you feel better soon!

  3. What a terrible feeling that is.
    So sorry you are sick. Take care,
    lay low, and pamper yourself.
    Sending a hug!

  4. Hope you feel better…that had to be awful.

  5. Oh no !!!
    that’s because you didn’t ride the bike back !

  6. Ginger ale, saltines, rest.

  7. Impressed that you made it to the garbage can. Hope you feel better. I once had intestinal issues in Paris and the only toilet I could find near Notre Dame was a Turkish toilet.

  8. Maybe you’re pregnant!

  9. Oh Jackie!!!

  10. Sorry to hear that’ well, I hope you feel good at this moment.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery….you will get back to your normal “loving” Paris as soon as the lurgies have gone away! Go Well

  12. Oh, poor Corey. Wish I were there to make you chicken soup. Feel better soon my friend.

  13. Oh no, dear Corey, I hope you feel better! That feeling right before you have to throw up is the worst, and feeling that on a public bus, oh my! Take good care.

  14. Oh no, hope you feel better soon!!

  15. The same thing happened to me but I was on the metro. I knew I was going to throw up and was hoping to make it home before I did but I was suddenly sure I was about to be sick and managed to jump out of the metro before the doors closed and made it to the garbage can just in time. I feel sorry for the guy who had to change the bags.
