Day 204: Past

Dinner Menu:
  • Salade de tomate et mozzarella buffala
This evening Fianna took me to the bar of the Lutetia as a surprise. This old parisian hotel has recently been completely renovated, but more importantly it's the place where Fianna and I had our "first date" to use American terminology.  The new bar is spacious and has a modern trendy feel to it.  The service is impeccable and we had a pleasant experience.  However, you can't compete with a memory.  Aside from the fact that we were in the process of falling in love which is a special time, I remember the old bar as being small, warm and cozy, feutré as we say in French.  The learning point from this experience is that we should never try to re-create the past.  Our memories should stay firmly in our minds to either fade or embellish over time.  Our time is so short we should create new memories rather than relive old ones.
