Paris, France

Today we headed to Paris. Even though we have been here twice before and hadn’t planned to return again, I was very excited to be here. We changed our plans so we could catch up with Daniel and Alicia when they arrived in Paris at the start of their European holiday.

With that being our only reason for returning, we were both surprised by how happy we felt to actually be back in Paris. It isn’t a city that has “called for me to return” but walking the Parisian streets, admiring the very Parisian buildings and the feel of the place makes us very happy to be back here.

We were able to drop off our luggage early and spend the day getting reacquainted with this beautiful city. We started with a simple, and delicious, French breakfast that brought back so many memories from our previous visits.

After an afternoon spent at the cemetery (more to follow) we ended the night with dinner at an Italian restaurant, not what we thought we would end up doing but we were tired and the food looked good. Thankfully it was and we didn’t regret our choice. After dinner we thought we would have a quick walk to the river for a look but with Brad navigating we walked for half an hour in the complete wrong direction. We were only a six minute walk from the water when we started our evening stroll. Needless to say we gave up and I lead us back to our hotel as it was finally getting dark. We will see the river tomorrow.Read more
