ABOUT THE NOTES:
The note takers are a group of Americans who have differing degrees of comfort with travel and the French. As such, they have traveled to Paris, where we will spend three weeks living in close quarters, exploring the city, and working on their French accents. It is their hope, during this trip, to see some wonderful stuff, meet some interesting people, and otherwise survive their time together. Over the next three weeks they will be reporting on their experiences around Paris, letting you know how good or bad everything is, letting you know what you must see, and profiling the places you must go to and/or avoid.

ABOUT THE POSTCARDS:
Everyday a new postcard is highlighted. You know, the kind of thing you might send home to mom & dad or a kid sister or a boyfriend you still love but cannot be with. That sort of thing. Postcards are the tweets of the analog era.

ABOUT THE PARIS JOURNALS:
The note takers will be keeping a journal about their time in Paris. These journal entries might describe excitement, disappointment, homesickness, the desire to remain in Paris forever. The objective is to say something meaningful about travel for friends, parents, lovers, pets, lawyers, to use as they consider leaving home for parts unknown. However, these journals will not be simple, will not simply list the daily goings-on. Instead, the objective is to reflect, to meditate, to allow this time away impact the ways we come to speak, honestly, about ourselves and others.

ABOUT THE PARIS ESSAYS:
The Paris Essays will engage with an experience or experiences the note takers had during their time in Paris. These essays will be a deep examination of a single moment or set of moments. Ultimately, the aim is to craft something that captures a unique aspect of the travel experience, some reflection on the journey.
