That moment you look into your carry-on bag and realise it's stuffed to the brim with bags (and bags) mini Toblerone. 😋 Its time to board the plane, and I've got a long travel day ahead of me. I hope you've enjoyed my daily photos. More in depth posts to follow, once I'm back in... Continue Reading →
Bonjour ! After I finish my last breakfast in Paris, I need to finish packing before heading to the airport. Le sigh. <!--more--> Its been a fun week and, although I'm looking forward to going home, I know I'm going to miss Paris immensely. So until next time, Au revoir and bonne journée! Marla
This morning I found myself in the area of Saint-Sulpice, which happens to be my favourite church in Paris. Of course I had to duck in for a visit. Usually when I enter a church, I take a seat in the back row of the pews to silently take everything in for a few minutes.... Continue Reading →
