Behind-the-Scenes: Paris Day 7

Today is day seven. We spent our last day in Paris doing nothing that was listed on our lovely schedule. We woke up and said, “Forget it!” and finally made it out at 9:00 am. It was an overcast, but warm morning when we crossed the street and walked onto the square to catch an Open Top bus. Our schedule […]

Behind-the-Scenes: Paris Day 6

Today is day six! We slept in this morning and now the bags under our eyes are looking much better. Ruth has been enjoying a croissant with jam each morning for her breakfast and since I don’t enjoy passing out on strangers laps, I’m a Müesli girl. My bowl of “substance” keeps me going like the Energizer Bunny, until I […]

Behind-the-Scenes: Paris Day 4

Day three was spent in London. Day four started out, clearly, not as planned because instead of leaving our apartment promptly at 8:00 am to catch the train to Musée du Louvre, we were nowhere near our cozy home or the world-famous glass pyramid. At 8:00 am we were functioning on three braincells in the Charles de Gaulle train terminal […]

You’re welcome to join Ruth and me for the next two weeks as we discover some amazing places and make life-time memories. Over 400 days ago, my travel […]

PARIS PICTURE TOUR

I love my career. It, seriously, is incredible to travel and capture our amazing planet. In September, I played tour guide and showed my friend, Ruth, around my favorite part of the world. Her dream has always been to wake up in Paris on her 40th birthday, so, after a year of planning, her dream trip came true. This was one of […]

PARIS: HOW TO GET FROM CDG TO NOTRE DAME

I sent the following information to a friend who was flying from San Francisco to Italy with an overnight layover in Paris, France. He had never travelled internationally before and wanted to leave the airport to see some sights. The following is what I sent him.   Once you are in Paris, you won’t be able to check into your […]
