We left 38˚ C weather in Puerto to arrive to 32˚ C
summertime in the City of Lights. Having
rented a tiny apartment on the Left Bank in St. Germain, we delighted in this
City of Great Food, stopping to gape at each delicious store front on our way
to Notre Dame.
The evening street life was energetic and busy, an old-time
jazz band playing to candlelit al fresco diners, street performers at nearly
every corner.
The next day we packed in a week’s worth of tourism: Breakfast with Tanya, Fiona Kral’s cousin in
Tullieres Park outside the Louvre and then a hike up the Eiffel Tower…
…followed by a hike up the Arc d’Triomphe, a lunch of sushi…
…a creepy walk through the Catacombs, a walk through St.
Michael’s Square, a dinner at a fancy neighborhood bistro…
…and for Tia and Todd, a return to the Eiffel Tower at
night. Having seen the city multiple
times from various heights during the day, it felt like we’d seen a great deal
more.
One day wasn’t enough in Paris, but that has been the story
of our traveling. We headed for Charles
De Gaulle airport the next morning, on our way to our Iceland adventure, and we
bid Europe goodbye…for now. Au revoir,
hasta luego, aufwiedersehen!
