Hello Everybody!
We woke up quite early this morning to catch our flight to Paris! Mom is very excited to be here, and I'm happy to be back in this city with someone who knows all about art. If you can believe it or not it pretty much took us the entire day to make it from Prague. So we dropped our luggage at the hotel and went out to dinner. On the menu was this delicious mozzarella roasted eggplant dish and French onion soup! Did you know that people watching is a big part of Parisian cafe culture so our chairs were actually sat side by side facing the street rather than each other. I feel like I'm already a really big people watcher, so this was right up my alley! Basically the world was our runway, and I saw some really cute outfits for future inspiration.
Having sat in a car or plane all day, mom and I decided to take a little after dinner walk around the Seine river and actually ended up walking a few miles to the Eiffel tower.
The views were so lovely!
And we even caught sunset!
I loved having rows and rows of trees all along the path.
I even convinced mom to take a selfie with me!
And voila! We made it! I remembered the Eiffel Tower being a lot taller than it was, but that's probably my childhood perception. It really is remarkable engineering and I feel so lucky that I get to see this twice in my lifetime!
This trip is already off to a great start with a major landmark ticked off on our first day! Wish us luck tomorrow, we're going to Versailles and there's an unexpected heatwave so it's going to be 97 degrees Fahrenheit and no access to AC whatsoever.
Lots of Love,
Carolyn
