Joie de Vivre #1

The French call it "joie de vivre" and the Italians have coined it "la dolce vita".
For me it's:
** Bicycling on the grounds of the Chateau de Versailles and
watching the fountains dance to the music
** A 'fresh' gelati melting in my mouth and running down my fingers
** Lying on the grass and marvelling at the sky
** Sunday picnics
** Water fights
** Walking barefoot on cool grass, on cool rock
** The smell of tartiflette wafting from the bistro downstairs
** Old books, old postcards, sepia photos of people I don't know
** Childhood friends
** Dancing
** Sunset dinners
** Old wooden shutters
