Ah, Paris! (1/2)

Ah Paris! In the spring, the city is quite nice actually.

We spent a few days there, walking around the main sights and taking pictures. We have both been there many times, but it’s always fun to check out the city of light!

On Saturday, I also got the chance to meet a fellow blogger, lovely Barbara (Home In France) and her husband, Didier. I met her where she lives, in the suburb of Paris and we chatted for a little while (she speaks perfect French!) about life in France and traveling. Nice meeting you Barbara, and thanks again for the chocolate egg (somebody knew my weakness…!).

    @Baoru – Thank you!

    @Guillermo – Gracias! :-)

    @barbara – To live, yeah, I like your lovely place best. But it’s always fun to explore Paris for a little while!

    @Bluefish – I have actually never been to Versailles to be honest. The Mont St Michel is cool though!

    @Bill Miller – :lol: There were also mimes dressed like Ramses, they looked so real!

    @Linguist-in-Waiting – There were a lot of tourists, much more than last year. We didn’t visit inside this time.

    @Seraphine – The Sacré Coeur is fun, I like this spirit there, always something happening.

    @shionge – Come on the dqrk side… :lol:

    @Max Coutinho – I wish I could visit Portugal, the more I learn about it through your blog, the more I want to go. If only Europe was’t so expensive…

    @Agnes – I have never seen Jim’s grave either come to think of it! Le Louvre is great but it takes at least a full day to get to see the main stuffs. We were exhausted last year after visiting!

    @Seb – Hi Seb, glad to hear from you! It has been a while… cool to see you back.

    @Aiglee – Anytime, I’ll give you tips :-)

    @Tanya – Thank you!

    @kyh – true; it doesn’t change, but it’s still a nice break!

    @Khengsiong – I usually upload all the pics in my Flickr (which you can access by clicking on the “pics” in the menu bar). They are much bigger!

    The Moulin Rouge has very striking color!
