On my third day in Paris I got lost. I didn't mean to; it just happened...Paris unfolds like an impressionist canvas, to be interpreted through experience. She is an aria, both exquisite and haunting, like the lingering aftertaste in the back of my throat of a complex bitter-sweet Bordeaux. I lost myself willingly to her mystery. "Real travel," says Kingwell, "means we must surrender expectations and submit to chance, to challenge our desires, not merely satisfy existing ones...Leaving home ought to be, above all...that plunge into otherness. Becoming strange to ourselves is the gateway to seeing how dependent on strangers we are for our identities...Getting lost to yourself might be the best way to find out who you are."
