When I arrived in Paris, it was dark and rainy, and at the height of the tourist season. I didn’t have a hotel reservation and I didn’t speak French. To make matters worse, Paris’s subway system, the Metro, was on strike, and getting a taxi was nearly impossible. The train station was swarming with people who shared my predicament, and many were settling down on their luggage for the night. Nearby, a little boy seemed on the verge of tears. As I walked past, his mother said to him in a distinctly British accent, “But dear, this is what is called an adventure.”
I’m not sure what effect these words had on the boy’s visit to Paris, but it did wonders for mine. –David Arnold
