In 2008, I quit my corporate job, sold off everything I owned and moved overseas with my husband Drew. Since then we've traveled around the world, started our careers over as creative types and nurtured our love of sleeping in late. Oh and we had a baby. Cole, our almost 2 year old has been traveling since he was four months old and probably knows more Thai than me (not that he brags).
Paris: Don’t be Stupid, Just Go
I arrived in Paris Sunday afternoon and quickly headed out to take some pictures. In the one above, I don’t know you can tell, but it was both raining and sunny at that moment. The rain didn’t last long, and I spent the rest of the day soaking in the city.
I have two observations about Paris. First, it’s is beautiful. But not just a little bit, in a few places. It’s just dumb, how gorgeous this city is, I can’t even express it. Second, everything is really big. The monuments are huge (see below) and the relative distances in the city seem large to me.
So if you’ve ever thought of going to Paris, do it. Forget gas prices or saving for retirement. That stuff is for wimps. Seriously, go.
Today is Bastille Day, so I’m off to check out the festivities! More to come this week…
