"Cafe Flor, Breakfast Alone"

Destinations By Brian Wilkes

Paris is known as one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world, which makes it all the more bittersweet to be there alone on business or research. At one point of my life, I traveled to Paris every two years. Regular travelers know the exquisite loneliness of a city where everything would seem even better if an appreciative companion would just sit with you for a while. If she sings sweetly while sharing your breakfast, so much the better! I worked here to accentuate the angles, so that even the smooth glass looks like it might shatter and leave shards in your heart.
