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 Paris – #POTD, Part Deux

Paris – #POTD
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
Paris – #POTD
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 Paris – #POTD

I left my hotel early this morning to cross the city to visit the Tutankhamun exhibition at the Grande Halle de la Villette (a former slaughterhouse turned cultural centre). On display is an impressive collection of artifacts discovered in the famous Pharaoh’s tomb. Here’s one of the showstopper pieces on display. The exhibition is only…… Continue reading Paris – #POTD

Today’s post is brought to you from the gorgeous chateau, Vaux-le-Vicomte. An easy trip from Paris, I highly recommend a visit if you get the chance. I spent a good chunk of my day exploring before hopping back on the train and heading for the picturesque medieval town of Provins. I’m having a lovely holiday…… Continue reading Paris – #POTD

I’m back in Paris! To start my first full day, I took part in a class where we made croissants and other viennoiseries. It is was so much fun. It also confirmed my belief that I need supervision when baking or, better yet, I should just leave the baking to others. Have you ever taken…… Continue reading Paris – #POTD
Oregon – #POTD
I’m writing this post in the van as we make our way north towards the Canadian border. This past week in Oregon has been a lot of fun and we’re both sad to see it come to an end. This mural, located in our favourite little town called Yachats, perfectly sums up our week. We’ve…… Continue reading Oregon – #POTD

Today has been a pretty busy day, by relaxing holiday standards. After breakfast we headed south a couple of hours, before heading back up towards Yachats (I’ll share posts about our activities soon). Several stops were made, including this one at Face Rock State Scenic Viewpoint. I can’t get enough of this coastline. Bonne journée!…… Continue reading Oregon – #POTD

We made it to Portland’s most popular donut shop, and after standing in line in the baking sun there was no way I was walking away with only one. Waistline be damned! Full blog post to follow soon. Bonne journée! Marla

Today’s photo was taken outside the Petit Palais minutes ago. I’m early, as usual, and am currently waiting in line shortly before opening. I’m excited to get through the doors to see the collection! Bonne journée! Marla
Chantilly – #POTD
I made a trip to Chantilly with some friends today. Our goal was to tour the Chateau de Chantilly and try the famous Chantilly Cream, both of which I’m happy to report were accomplished. I’ll write proper posts in the near future, but wanted to share a photo of these sweet little goslings we came…… Continue reading Chantilly – #POTD

Bonjour! I’ve arrived exhausted after a long flight. First order of business was to grab a few breakfast staples from the nearby Carrefour grocery store and then visit Popelini for a cream puff. While I had intended to purchase just one, it was impossible to narrow down the delicious sounding flavours. So I bought a…… Continue reading Paris – #POTD
