I met Sande & Shimelle at our hotel & we were off...no time to waste in Paris! First...walking around the Latin Quarter & Notre Dame (our tour guide was 13 yr. old Kate & her grandmother...thanks, girls for a wonderful stay! *wink*)
...love the whole vibe there! It's artsy, full of character & makes my heart sing.
There's this fabulous old bookstore across the street from Notre Dame...it was so charming & I loved taking pictures with Sande & Shimelle...love that we are at the same place, at the same time, taking pictures of the same thing, but we see different things.
Walked along the Seine, took more pictures...yes, this is one thing I LOVE about Paris..the photo ops! This guy was sharing the sounds of Paris on the bridge...Notre Dame in the background, blossoms & sunshine...it was a perfect day!
And, of course the shops are just as delightful as ever...full of character & the goodies we found? ahh....can't wait to show you lucky winners what I'll be sending you! *wink*

Dinner with friends, on the Rue Clare with Orangina...didn't I say it was a perfect day? The 3 of us were loving this stuff...it's scrumptious!...bye bye diet coke! hello Orangina!
A little trip to the Eiffel Tower at dusk for some night shots...ending of my first day...perfect!
more to come...

ReplyDeleteIt is so surreal...being in a city where people are out and about...walking, talking and riding bikes. We just downsized from our big urban house to a small two bedroom apartment in the city so that we could do just that. Would love to wake up to that chandalier every morning...ohh llalalalalla
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful pictures. Can you tell me how you post your pictures on your blog WITHOUT a border around them? I've been trying to paste some filmstrips, but keep getting a white thick border and black thin line border around the pictures when I post. Thanks for your tips!
