They are gone. They should be buried in oblivion-night. - Sri Chinmoy It is easy to be burdened with regrets. The mind will offer us innumerable - if [...]
I did it once, three years ago, for 10 whole days! I was coming to Paris and knew it was going to be one of those out and about all day and half the night and with a side trip to another country kind of vacations.
