This blog was in my drafts from last year. In December of 2017, I did a series of blogs about my ornaments and books related to the place where the ornaments came from. I forgot to send this one out. Paris, France and Sarah's Keys by Tatiana de Rosnay Ornament I bought the ornament in the Eiffel Tower. Paris is too amazing. It is full of buildings older than the United States and architecture I know nothing about but admire. When you watch a movie that idealizes Paris, it really isn’t exaggerating the beauty of the city. Watch the opening scenes to the movie Midnight in Paris on a big screen TV, and you’ll get a taste of this amazing city. Book Sarah’s Key is a heart wrenching book. Though it is fiction, it’s based on a sad time in history when the Jews in Paris were rounded up by Nazis and French police under the German’s control. The book was written well, but hard to read because of the topic. I believe it is important to remember history both good and bad. We don’t want to repeat the atrocities made in the past. I wrote another blog about Paris: https://carlasbooks.weebly.com/carlas-candor/the-lesson-paris-taught-travel-blog-6
