Making a French connection
If euro-envy has kept you away from France this summer, you can live vicariously through my colleague, Jay Hancock, who is vacationing in Paris and writing about his stay on his blog.
Jay engineered a houseswap on HomeExchange.com with some obviously gullible Parisians - if such a thing exists. After all, he lives in Ellicott City, which is a nice area, but it's no 7th Arrondissement.
I'm really just jealous I didn't think of doing a houseswap first. Lutherville for Lyon, anyone?
