We’ve been in Paris for two days now, and all I can say is…I’m so happy. I don’t mean to get super-gushy and go all Franco-phile every time I talk about Paris, but I can’t help it – I just really, really love it here. As exciting and as fun as it is to see new places and experience foods and sights for the very first time, there’s also something really special about visiting old favorites. And so Shane and I have spent the last couple of days doing our favorite things in my favorite city.
Eating Berthillon ice cream along the banks of the Seine.
Standing the courtyard of the Louvre, gawking at its massive perfection.
Enjoying surprise sidewalk performances, like this little orchestra at the Palais Royale.
Gazing at Paris rooftops (I’m kind of obsessed).
Walking through the city at night.
Picnicking at the Jardin de Luxembourg,
and then watching the old men play bocce ball.
Drinking aperitifs at sidewalk cafes.
And generally loving life in the City of Light.
