We've been busy and I haven't had much time to blog about much of anything lately, but it's not an indication that much hasn't happened. Quite the contrary: we've traveled a bit and now, summer is finally here (90 degrees today!). One major trip that we made between February (the last post) and now is a two week escape to Paris.
We had debated about going someplace tropical and warm in March, but it was slim pickings with Mexico out of the question (Christopher can explain why, when asked). Early/mid March was still a bit too cool for a Mediterranean vacation, so that was out too.
Paris was beautiful. We certainly made the right choice. Having the time to really enjoy the city like a true Parisian and ample days just to meander the streets day or night in one of the most beautiful cities in the world is something I'd recommend to anyone. After New York, Paris is not far behind as our second favorite city. There was so much to be taken in and I, for one, was inspired by so much that I observed and saw.
We ate, relaxed, photographed, and ate more for two whole weeks. We've shared all the pictures previously, but these are some details again, that I think really capture the beauty of everything. C’était vraiment la vie de rêve.
