Parisian Pastries: A Video

Susan Hochbaum writes:

Hi Heather

I spent last year living in Paris and became a slave to dessert. I've just finished a 2-minute movie (accompaniment by Django Rhinhardt) that I thought you and your readers might like.

I hope you'll watch it at www.susanhochbaum.com/pastryparis.html.

Best,
Susan

I love this. The music, the images, the sheer glee of adoring the sweet artistic creations in my favorite urban setting...Paris! :)

Check out her viseo, and be patient if it loads slowly (maybe it's just my connection), it's worth the wait!
