Stonehenge

Stonehenge is so mysterious and interesting! Built over the course of 1000 years almost 5000 years ago, its meaning and origins are lost to history. I didn't realize how many Bronze age burial moundsLeer más

Paris AirBnB

This one is very updated and modern inside, but very skinny! You can see how narrow the building is on the outside. It's actually thoughtfully appointed and quite nice, very near a metro station.

This was an enjoyable introduction to Paris.
Work is progressing on the restoration of Notre Dame after the fire, and is supposed to be done by 2024. Obviously, we weren't able to go in.

Finally got to ride a double decker.
Willow bought a pocket watch on the way
