Paris Is Hot, Hot, Hot and Jammed with Tourists
Bonjour! Life is much better after 24 hours in Paris, and we do love our new apartment, though we’re struggling with the location. A good night’s rest, new friends, and good food made for a smile on our faces. I do apologize for the negativity in my first post as I try always to make […]

Last Day to Vote!!! Winners on Thursday

A Bumpy Ride for Our Last Days in Paris
