The best way to "re-enter" Paris after vacation is to take to the streets. Get back into the rhythms and vignettes of life that are present down every cobblestone alley, around every unexplored corner, or across every metro track. Open up and breathe it in. From children playing . . . to juxtapositions that make you smile . . . to characters with only a hint of their story showing . . . to glimpses of how others are experiencing Paris, the images are there. You just have to be looking.
