Friends! I'm escaping life for two weeks in London and Paris.

I plan to walk down streets of Paris and pretend I'm Celine looking for my Jesse (Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight reference), or maybe I'll stroll down the cobblestone streets right around midnight hoping for Hemingway and the Fitzgeralds to pick me up and take for a 1920s cocktail (Midnight in Paris reference).

I would love to have some posts for when I'm gone. Maybe you had an awesome or creep-o date that you'd like to capture for eternity in the 100FD questionnaire.

Or you have an idea about something else and want to share it with us. All dating/love/relationship topics are welcome, just keep the piece to around 250 words, and email it to 100fd@100fd.com

Au revoir!

A Hamburg sunset

RECYCLE everything and CONSERVE energy. Use the sunshine to see and the fresh air to dry your clothes.

The Spree River, Berlin

BRING your own bags to the grocery store, the market, the pharmacy, or be prepared to pay $1.50 for a plastic bag. Genius.

I'd like to live in one of these in Lübeck.

RIDE your bike everywhere.

Even to McDonald's.

SPREAD Nutella on more things more often.

Freshly baked things.

ADD museli to your yogurt for deliciousness.

The longest part left of the Berlin wall was left for artists...

NEVER forget World War II, Fascism, Communism, Democracy.

The Holocaust Memorial, Berlin.

DRINK beer everywhere all the time. Seriously.

SIT outside as often as the weather allows preferably near a body of water.

Or swim in a body of water in another body of water.

COOK food at home. Eat out less. Picnic more.

25 different kinds of mustard. My heaven.

KEEP FRIENDSHIPS. As we get older they are harder to maintain. We get busy, we get spouses and families, but don't use these as an excuse. I was sad when my friends moved to Berlin last year, but I'm so grateful that we are still in each other's lives. They have taught me:

LOVE and COMMITMENT aren't easy but they are so worth it.

ENJOY living NOW.

....I LOVE you guys.
