First Birthday, watercolor on Etsy, 9" x 11"~
BEAR's First Birthday is just around the corner so we thought we'd celebrate today since it falls awfully close to departure date for Paris and Venice...
BEAR has been dropping hints he'd like to drop into Sonia Rykiel to visit his long-lost bro... 
BEAR never stopped missing Paris... 
He remembers every detail of his last day... 
Bear feels a great affinity with a town so loaded with stripes... 
BEAR wants to know if we'll take the EUROSTAR this trip now he's an expert... He was a swell guide in Venezia certamente.
He's lined up quite a few chocolate places this trip you know... 
And he'll be keeping an eye out for more bear doudous bien sur. 
BEAR has such fond memories of his macaron class at The Ritz so... 
He's thrilled to bits that he is going to get to interview Mad About Macarons! author, Jill Colonna in Paris for you. Yahoo!
"Can one ever have too many petit dejeuners?", Bear asked.
NY Bears have quite captured BEAR's imagination...
He didn't expect there to be quite such a large bear population, especially at FAO Schwarz...
BEAR's bag is already packed & prete to go off mid-March...

BEAR thought it might be fun to invite you along for the trip from London to Paris on the Eurostar (or 'The Chunnel' as we American heathens call it...)
After you book online, and as far in advance as possible for the best prices, you've got to high tail it over to St. Pancras Station.
Eeeek! It's only 4:10 AM and our train is not until at 5:25 AM
Another eeek!
We were moaning to David at the Club about how early we had to get up to catch the 5:25 AM to Paris. But he reminded us that we did pay less, the train would be way less crowded (it was) And we'd be in Paris much, much sooner then if we took a later train.
St. Pancras is practicment vide/empty..
St. Pancras railroad station was designed by Gilbert Scott and built in 1868. Though it's been renovated for expanded service, it still retains many Victorian details like these gothic windows...
Really quite a thrilling space to have all to yourself...
AND there are at least 20+ shops to browse, almost all of them closed. Bear contemplates lovely catty socks - too purfect...sigh 
Ah...a Bear hat!
And a FREE cuppa!
Clever Pain Quotidien IS open for hungry travelers fortunately...
We take a look at the check-in board.
Check-in is approaching...
You smash your ticket agains the square window et voila!
You wait some more inside. Other people are busy taking last pictures of London...
BEAR waits patiently...
BEAR gets impatient!
BEAR is first going up the flat escalators to the trains.
BEAR searches for coach #2, seat #72.
At last BEAR settles in and falls instantly to sleep.

BEAR wakes up to catch a glimse of French countryside.

Et voila!
Back on the streets comme d'habitude red red red...
More RED!
If you're wondering what BEAR is reading on his travels, he found Martha Gelhorn's (former wife of Hemingway) book, Travels with Myself and Another in London. The catchy subtitle grabbed him -
Et voila!Back in Paris at busy Gare du Nord Bear heads for the Metro.
Back on the streets comme d'habitude red red red...
More RED! If you're wondering what BEAR is reading on his travels, he found Martha Gelhorn's (former wife of Hemingway) book, Travels with Myself and Another in London. The catchy subtitle grabbed him - '5 Journeys from Hell'
Perfect reading everytime we wanted to moan about something like getting up insanely early to catch the Eurostar to Paris...ahem
BONJOUR EUROSTAR!
