To make up for my laziness yesterday, I went out and saw a lot today. I finally got to see the catacombes! It was really creepy and oddly beautiful the way the skulls and bones were arranged. I guess the French felt that if you had to make a mass grave, why not do it with some style? Also, people w…

So, after our long flt, we find our hotel. We took the subway to the hotel. The staff was quite shocked that we knew how to use the subway, yes, Americans don't always use taxis. Ha Ha!!! We stayed at the Best Western in the Latin Quarter on Rue de Rennes. The room was small, which i…

Wanderings around France with my brother and a couple of friends...

It was pure luck that we arrived in Paris in such a great weather.  The umbrella we brought with us was only used once and the rest of our 4 days stay was pure bliss.  Gorgeous weather in such a gorgeous city! Paris was exactly how i imagined it to be, in fact, way better.  Spr…

A quick trip, to meet my awesome fellow-TBs Jen, Tracy and Irene.

...If you go only for a couple of days, you don't have enough time to see it all and you always want to come back, but if you go for a long period of time you will get sick and tired of monuments, buildings and statues... Trust me !There are so many things to see and learn about paris that is never…

With a dear friend of mine I had a quick visit to Paris. A weekend was to short!!

...

So today I went to the French open (Tennis for all you out there not in the know), It was easy to find. Walking from the metro station to the main stadium took about a 5-10 minute walk and I must have been asked 50 times or so if I would sell my ticket. The gates opened at 10am and I went straight …
